Wardrobe Malfunction

Time to engage in a serious discussion. I must be honest and say that we did not plan what we would wear for this song video. It was typical for us to switch back and forth between our alternatives. We eventually decided on some straightforward clothes for the characters, but not before having a discussion about it.

Originally, we wanted to put the characters in ugly sweaters to add to the theme of the video. The idea was to dress warmly in order to mimic the numerous videos we saw while conducting our research. We rapidly decided that this was not a possibility. No matter what time of year it is, Florida's climate is always very hot. Our characters wouldn't be comfortable wearing bulky clothes. even more so considering that we would be filming for a couple hours.

The alternative was to put on Christmas pajamas. This was a cute and fun choice that effectively conveys the message without placing the characters in an uncomfortable situation. We decided to have only one character wear the Christmas pajamas as only one of us had any to wear. The other two donned shirts with well-known holiday designs and figures. This addressed both comfort and beauty, which were prerequisites for the outfits.

Even after deciding on pajama bottoms and Christmas shirts, the costumes lacked some finishing touches. They had the impression that something was missing. One of the characters was going to wear a jacket because it was going to be a little cool, which obscured the pattern on his shirt. We consequently determined that we had to include some holiday-related accessories. Fortunately, the characters could wear a wide variety of hats and headbands.

The inclusion of the accessories gave our costumes the ideal finishing touch. Finally prepared to film, we hope to do so later this week.
