Costumes

I asked Laurence to wear casual clothing. As this resembles his genre.
Originally I wanted a plain t shirt for him to wear as I thought i didnt want to draw much attention to his clothing as it wasnt the main feature of my music video. I began thinking that blue was the best option because it gives the impression that the artist is quirky or energetic which i think the artist has plenty of.
However, on the day of the shoot he came wearing a grey t shirt with "O'niell" written on it. In the end this t shirt worked out well because of the audience he attracts (surfers, campers, festival go-ers).


I asked Laurence if he could wear green trousers, this was because I think that the colour green reflects someone who is laid back and this goes with the genre and the song itself.
I wanted Laurence to wear trousers so he would look sophisticated.
I also think shorts or an alternative garment would look effortless and carelessc.








These shoes are very similar to the ones Laurence was wearing on the shoot. As i said before I wanted his appearence to be as casual as everyday wear so his audience could familiarise themselves with him.
The fact that they are black draw no attention to them which i thought was a good addition because they could be distracting if they were a colour.
