Official Girlfriend's Costume:

Ellie Beaulah (me) 

Role: Girlfriend

Colourful Costume: 

To match the Boyfriends colourful costume to portray they are in a relationship by colour co-ordinating their outfits - with the colour scheme blue and red. The colour Red connotes love/passion that the couple have for each other whereas Blue connotes peacefulness, calmness, purity - these colours contrast each other visually but also by their meaning.
To reflect the 'Alternative' genre I dressed the female in a blue and red checkered shirt to match the boyfriend but dressed a high waisted denim pinafore skirt over the top to define her waist and legs to represent her femininity.
The checkered shirt is link to theorist Tessa Perkins 'Stereotypes' by reinforcing the stereotypical 'indie/alternative' look of checkered shirts into my music video I have sent a clear message of 'stereotypes'/stereotypical clothing (linking to the Hypodermic Needle Theory) about my specific genre of 'Alternative Rock'; referring to checkered shirts, leather jackets etc.

Make-up

The make-up for the colourful costume was quite natural. I used; concealer, foundation to cover up blemishes or uneven skin tone. Blusher & bronzer is used to define her cheek bones and give her cheeks a healthy glow. A brown eyebrow pencil was used to define her eyebrows. Eye liner and mascara to define her eyes but shimmer beige eye shadow was used to give her eyes a glow. For her lips I just used some lip balm and kept them natural. And her hair is natural.

  PJ/Bed Costume:

The pj costume consists of a long 'boyish' top with pj shorts on underneath; the actress will be seen 'fresh' faced to fit in with realism.

Dark Costume:

For the dark costume i was inspired and influenced by the Actress/Singer, and model 'Taylor Momsen'. This is a direct contrast between the colourful costume where the girl is perceived as innocent, where as linked to the theorist 'Tessa Perkins' the dark costume is stereotypical to the 'Alternative Rock' genre by wearing dark black clothing and 'rock' 'rebel' jewellery which has spikes on to connote this. This portrays the female character as the antagonistic character in the narrative. Like 'Taylor Momsen' the female character is dressed provocatively by wearing a long black top and suspender tights - this is linked to the theorist Laura Mullvey and her 'male gaze' by connoting the female character as a sexual object by men.

Make-up

I used heavy dark make-up to connote the 'Alternative Rock' stereotypical genre. I used black eye shadow, black eye liner, black mascara, foundation, concealer, blusher and bronzer. 

Scars:

To make the scars i used fake blood, as seen in the pictures below. 

And for the scars left on her wrist is used brown eye brow pencil, pin lip balm and black eye liner pencil to portray they are scars over time.
