costume research

I will be researching different costumes worn by rock stars to help give us an idea of what rock stars wear for our band. i will be researching many different bands from the rock genre to see if they all keep a similar style of clothing.he research will help us understand how and what rock stars wear.


As we can see from the band above "Papa roach" they have kept to the typical rock star look, wearing black clothes. it very typical to have dark hair or very long black hair. black glasses show the bands rebellious attitude.


Muse have also kept to the stereotypical image of a rock star, they are dressed all in black, with white leather belts to standout. leather jackets are also common for rock star to wear as it shows there rebellious attitude. the clothes worn seem very casual not too outrageous and brightly coloured like maybe a pop star would wear.



Adam Goniter from "Three days grace" has kept the traditional look of an all black clothes, which is very typical for rock stars. he has the typical long black hair that is common in rock music. his clothes are very basic but make a strong impact compared to the background he stands out.

Kings of Leon have there rock star image, but sticking to the all black theme using white t-shirts to contrast to the black. the theme of black and white clothing seem to be continuous in all rock music. the clothes are very casual, i have noticed there is not too much effort to look perfect in as you can see they all have long black hair which is very typical for rock star the rock genre.

 In my opinion the rock star image has a very typical, traditional look of wearing black clothes such as shirts, t-shirts and leather jackets. the rock image is open to many different styles the only aspect of rock clothes that stay the same is black clothing or white clothes to stand out among the black. we have decided to uses two costumes for our video one with the majority of our clothes black and the other costume to be brighter, more white clothing to show the difference of us,it will make our clothes stand out more if Theres a dramatic colour change. we are choosing to use black clothes for our narrative to reflect on the nightmare of the narrative, and will work well with the creepy, gritty location. this idea of black then white clothing was inspired by the avenged sevenfold video - afterlife.
