Costume Planning

The main costume that will be seen in the music video is this dress which will be worn with white heels by Alanis. We chose a white dress because it indicates her purity and honesty regardless of what she has been put through. The cut out waist shows that she has a different side to her innocent self as she is revealing skin which can be seen as being promiscuous. The flowers on the bottom of the dress symbolise her innocence as sweetness as flowers often have a sweet scent which are always appreciated by people.

The three dancers will wear white tops and black leggings. The idea of this is that the girls dancing are past victims of the love interest (Charlie) in the video so the white indicates their innocence and purity which is contrasted by the black which indicates that they have been played and it has changed their lives for the worse.

Charlie wears a black top with black trousers which indicates that he is the bad person with lots of bad morals within the story line. He is the dark one and the black contrasts with the girls who are all in light colours to indicate that he is turning them bad which is portrayed with the use of black leggings and the black dress.

For sections of the video, Alanis will wear a black dress to show how Charlie has taken the good out of her and she is now someone who can't go back to her complete pure self as she been put through so much by someone who plays girls off each other. However, when Alanis wears the black dress, the setting will be white to indicate that no matter how she is feeling, she will always be her innocent, pure and honest self deep down.
