Costume Ideas.


When looking into costume ideas, I came across this selection of images of people dressed in reflective light outfits which have created a shimmery and interesting effect of them they have then used an online tool which although I don't know it's name, I know it is available on the 'talk talk' bright dancing website. This technique of creating images and reflective costumes out of light strands could be extremely beneficial to our video and later in the process of doing research I will look into the technical side of this technique.
Neon Attachments
Another way of making the dancers in our video stand out with light is to attach neon glow sticks to individual out fits thus creating a impact which when dancing, makes the dancers look as if they are not there but that the results of the light are creating a dancing effect. In the image below on the right, an example of this particular costume design is shown on children.
Post filming / editing effects
Another alternative is to dress the dancers in black alongside the set and to wait to add in lighting effects until after filming. there would be practical issues however that may prevent us doing this, such as the concern that if we do not complete the filming on schedule we may not have enough time to edit the way we would of initially liked too. However using a combination of all three processes, set effects/ dressing, costume design and editing(through heightening and enhancement of neon colouring) we could create the effect we intended.
