Costume Ideas

The plan is to keep the costumes simplistic and representative or their relationship, the present and the past. 

Present
Black and white - alongside low saturation of video.
Simple clothing - nothing with excessive patterns/complex textures.
Nothing to detract from what is going on in the video.
Modest clothing - Clothing that covers a majority of the body. 
Flowing clothing - we wanted a skirt/scarf/dress that would flow from the female character's body to add drama to the shots.

Past
Simple clothing.
Bright colour - blue theme - co-inciding with the sea/river locations and the high saturation filters on the clips: connoting pure, innocent, dream-like state.
Vest tops/t-shirts.

Our aim was to have a distinctive difference between flashblack and reality in every way possible with the shots themselves, the editing and costume. The costume also adds a lot to the ambiance and mood of the video, adding to the contrast and drama.
