Peter Planning

Real World 

For Peter's real world outfit, I do want a very simple look to match Wendy, there is no point having one looking very casual and the other simplistic. The main theme his outfit will revolve around is simple!-this will make the Neverland outfit even more contrasting as well. I plan to have him in a very dark T-shirt, black and dark colours typically symbolise such dark thing, and negative emotions. 

Black/dark top,

Black/grey jeans,

Plimsoles/trainers,

No accessories - only accessories would be watch/minimal bracelets  

Neverland

I have had two ideas of Peter's Neverland outfit.

The first outfit is a lot more simple and plain, a very simple jeans T-shirt and converses/ plimsoles but very light colour theme- white top, grey jeans, etc. This outfit is more of a back up if the second turns out too ambitious  

The second outfit is more of a mythical, natural, forest themed outfit. I have taken inspiration from the character Legolas from "The lord of the rings", this look will match the Disney Peter Pan look but with a more edgy grown up twist to it.

Baggy brown/green T-shirt,

Brown/green waistcoat,

Black jeans,

Big chunky brown boots,

Possible jacket/cape 

For Peter's hair I want to keep it very simple, just a classic everyday look, slightly messy wild hair but still controlled. 

I considered having a hat in the opening scene, this could link to the lack of confidence they have in the real world, used to hide away. However I would prefer to keep it simple and have no accessories.

Wendy Planning

"Real World"

For Wendy's clothing in the real world scenes I want to have her in very natural casual clothes, nothing too dressy or fancy, something which portrays her as an average girl the audience can relate to. I plan to have her in jeans -full length, a very simple outfit, plain T-shirt and minimal jewellery -one focus item e.g. Necklace. This will help to create a stronger contrast with the Neverland clothing.
Jeans
Plain light T-shirt
Possible jacket (beige/cream)
Statement necklace or earrings
Comfy shoes (converses, plimsoles, pumps)
No handbag

"Neverland"

I have two different ideas for the Neverland outfit.
Firstly I thought about having a very girly pretty pale cream dress, the light colours signify innocence which links with the childhood theme and creates a very sweet "good girl" look (this could be pared with a darker make up to show the deviant, rebellious behaviour of running away. Showing while she wants I be this innocent child not having to deal with the hassles of adulthood but this will never be the case).
Secondly I thought about having a very similar pretty, girly dress but in a pale blue shade, this is to match the dress used in the Disney version of Peter Pan, this would be easily recognisable and show a clear connection with the fairytale. However this could be a negative thing, by using existing content and themes from the Disney movie this creates an image of expectation which the character will have to compete with, by being unique these boundaries and pre-set images are broken.

Peter Pan Collar

For one of the outfits (probably Neverland) I thought about having a Peter Pan collared dress, this would tie in with the whole story well. However if this is difficult to find a dress matching it is not essential. The dress would still be in the same colour scheme, blue or cream/white.

I have had three different ideas for the make up of Wendy:

Natural

The idea behind the natural themed make up is to reflect on the childhood, forever young theme of neverland. I definitely want to use a very natural look for the opening real world scenes to ensure a very simplistic look this will be more relatable to the target audience.  

Colourful

I had the idea of having very colourful creative make up for the neverland scenes to enphasise on the contract between the two worlds. Also it would match the colourful theme of the neverland scenes (balloons, Fairylights, holi powder etc.). 

Heavy/ Darker

As I briefly mentioned before the darker make up would give a twist on the look, it would highlight the more adult side of the character. Showing that even in such a childish setting the reality of growing up is there and you cannot escape from it.

Detailed/ Unique

This style of hair would help to convey the fairytale appeal. Also reflect on the unique, creative aspect of the neverland setting.

Simple/ Messy

The messy simplistic hairstyle would really show off the wilder side of running away and surviving in neverland, realistically the detailed hairstyle wouldn't work, therefore it creates a more plausible look. Also typically in everyday situations this form of shairstyle -very plane and simple, is the norm, by having a very everyday look it portrays this same everyday feel, whichever essentially is they're aim to make this their new everyday life.

Magazine Advert Designing

I wanted to create a very creative magazine and hope to have the same image on the front cover of the Digipak as many artists I have studied have done this, this helps to make the single/album more recognisable.

The reason I wanted to have such a creative image as it helps to link in with the childhood, fairy tale, Neverland theme. I plan to have a face on image of the main artist's face ("Peter"), and to incorporate themes from the music video into the editing, - ivy, plants, forest, and edit them to intertwine with him.
I have created a series of photo which follow a similar form of editing, Also I have created a mock up design of what I hope to create for the artist with images i have found online.

Here is the first edit i have created using Photoshop, I
 found images online and by overlaying and editing
them together created this effect where the leopard
 and human face merge into one. This is a similar
 form of editing i hope to achieve

This image I have created using my own photography,
I was lucky enough to go to a wolf sanctuary and
take photos of the wolves there. Using watercolour
textured images and long shutter light photography
using Photoshop again have created this image.

This is the mock design I have created for the front cover artwork, this image doesn't have an text on it however. For my actual magazine advert and digipak I will include relevant text. 

Shot Breakdown

I have created a Shot Breakdown of the first 30 seconds of the song. A lot of my video i found hard to place into the order as i plan to have lots of different scenes with only very short takes and i am unsure of the order without matching what i film to the music.
