The song 'Breathe Easy' is a British song. Therefore we want to create an artist image where the artist looks British. We began by researching artists that had songs that were similar to 'breathe easy', but all of the artist that we chose were American. Our group had decided to research British artists. Also, in our song the main singer happens to be the female singer. We will be focusing more on the female artist image then the maile artist image.
Analysing Artist Image- Pictures
Alisha Dixon
Estelle
Tulisa- N Dubz
From looking at current artist images, it has given me a couple of ideas on the image we want our artist to have. Below are a couple of ideas that we have on the clothes our artist should wear.
Artist Image
After looking at clothes for our artist, we have decided to dress and take pictures of Naina (the girl who is going to be playing our artist). Below is a slideshow of the pictures we took of her in different clothes for our music video.
More about our artist (female)...
Makeup...
Artists wear make-up differently depending on what event they are attending. In this case we are looking at make-up in music videos. We want our artists make up to be neutral but still glowing. This Below are closeup pictures of certian artists that i have been researching such as Tulisa, Alicia Keys, Estelle.
Tulisa Makeup
Above is a printscreen shot of a N Dubz video called 'Ouch'. She is wearing blue eye shadow and black eye liner to make her eyes stand out, especially because the video is shot at night in the dark. She is wearing light blusher and a light coloured lipstick. Her eyes are made to stand out most in this video.
Alicia Dixon Makeup
Here again is a printscreen shot of Alicia Dixon in her video 'Breathe Slow'. The video is edited in black and white. Obviously this means her makeup has no colour. But she is wearing eyeshadow as you can see the light shine of her eye lids. She is also wearing glossy lipstick as you can again see light shining of her lips. Her makeup looks simple, but we are un able to see what colours she is wearing which makes it difficult to judge that.
Estelle Makeup
This is a shot of Estelle in her video 'American Boy'. The video again is black and white. She is wearing black eye makeup, like eyeliner and mascara. She doesnt look like she is wearing any eye shadow. She is wearing a very shiny lipgloss too.
On youtube i have found a video of a makeup tutorial. The girl is showing viewers how to do makeup the way she has done it. I like the makeup in this video because it is very simple but looks good. I think this makeup will be ideal for our music video.
Accessories and Hair
Tulisa
She is wearing gold flashy earrings which go with her skin tone. She isen't wearing any other accessories that can been seen in the pictures. I think the reason for this is because her earrings look very big and heavy and there is possibly no need to wear anything else.
Her hair is curly, which makes her look very girly. Her hair is also blonde/ gold, matching the earrings she is wearing.
Estelle
She is hardly wearing any asseccories apart from bold silver bangles that look abit unusual. She is wearing no earring or necklaces. Her shoes matches her outfit and her hair look abit old fashioned which could possibly match the song the is dressed for (american boy).
Alicia Dixon
She is only wearing earrings that are bright silver and sparkly. Her hair is curly/wavy which again makes her look girly. Her hair is black and her earring are silver which make the earrings stand out more. Also her whole outfit is formal and she is obviously dressed for an occassion so she would have to wear more flashy jewellery.
We want out artist to be wearing simple jewellery like possible hooped earring and a simple pendent necklace. Out artists hair is medium lengthed so she could do a variety of hairstyles but usually leaving it down and straight.
Male Featured Artist:
SAM!
He will be wearing casual street wear clothes and will be wearing typical street accessories like an earring or a chain. He will be wearing trainers from a footwear shop like footlocker or Jd Sports
Picture of our artists together...
Due to some problems with our artists being able to film the video we decided to change both our artists completely. Our artists are now Simi (me) who will be playing the female artist and also Nik santos who will be playing the male artist. We realised it was not much of a problem changing our artists as they will be wearing the same clothes and accessories and makeup that we decided on before.
