Costumes for my Music Video

Thinking about costumes has been a tough decision making process in terms of my music video, but i feel that i've decided successfully.
For the main guitarist i have decided to dress him in dark clothes, with a dark t-shirt a baseball cap, and some baggy jeans with some big skating shoes. This is the typical look of the punk rock as seen in the picture of Blink-182's Tom Delonge.
 
The characters are being clothed in relation to their roles as characters. The character that Ollie Jordan plays is one who is a successful footballer, who succumbs to the problems of narcotics. While playing football Ollie is wearing some denim shorts with a white t-shirt, i felt that a more casual look would suit the surroundings he was in playing on a football court. When going to buy drugs, and using the purchased drug he is wearing a sporting type hoodie, with some tracksuit bottoms which shows that he is no longer the well dressed person he used to be, due to the drugs. When his final demise is seen when over dosing on pills he is seen to be wearing a hoodie which makes him look as if he has reached an all time low.

Ryan Lewin's character is one of a school child who deals with the loss of someone by turning to alcohol. He begins in a school uniform doing school work, with glasses on to reflect how intellectual he will is. When visiting the grave of the deceased character, he is still seen to be wearing smart clothes as his demise hasn't started. However through the duration of the video he gradually gets worse, starting by drinking on the streets in a dark coat, and tracksuit bottoms, eventually falling to the stage where he is homeless, accompanied by a navy beanie, and a sleeping bag to make him look more homeless.

My own character begins in a suit, which is stereotypical of a businessman. When being faced with the debts however he is seen in a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms which is what would be expected of someone who is around his own house. He is wearing the same clothes when he is seen to be going to commit suicide, which i felt was fitting due to the fact that someone wouldn't be wearing a different outfit just because of the fact that they are committing suicide.
