After doing some research and looking at indie/ indie rock videos, I have spotted some female actors within them and captured their outfits. What I noticed is that within these videos the actresses are either dressed in a 'careless' fashion which appears comfortable and daring, such as the outfit of the girl wearing multiple tops, but all of them unbuttoned, or, some of them are very feminine and make a statement, such as the silk snake kimono, or the classy white blouse with a black ribbon around her neck. After looking at the makeup that all of these girls are wearing, I came to a conclusion that some of them are either natural, or messy, as if stayed on the actresses face for too long, which gives them an adventurous, daring vibe, and what I really like about that is that this makeup opposes the gender stereotype of a traditional woman, and goes beyond, by portraying these women as independent individuals who do not dress to appeal to a male (Mulvey).
How this research influenced my planing and creativity:
We will experiment with natural/messy makeup
Get the female actress to have loose, natural, messy hair
Experiment with interesting/daring costumes for the female to represent her and the genre well
