The first thing I did to get an idea of what clothing my actress was going to wear was go on Google and search pop-punk. I did this to see the general idea of what the world thinks pop-punk is and it also creates a sense of stereotyping.
When I clicked search a lot of similar pictures came up and it even included Blink 182 and Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong. This supports Tessa Perkins theory that stereotypes are rigid and unchanging as these bands have been around for years and are still the stereotypical pop-punk bands and style icons.
I realised there wasn't many women included in the search and seen as my cast is going to be a teenager it is very important that I dress her like someone of the pop-punk genre. I know that Hayley Williams is a huge style icon and thought I would do a mood board on what clothes she wears to inspire the way in which I want my cast to dress.
I also did a mood board on Avril Lavigne as she is a style icon who is a pop-punk singer.
The next thing I did was search 'how to dress pop-punk' on YouTube to get some more inspiration on how to dress my cast. I feel that it is important to get a lot of research on costume because I think it is the most important element in a music video to show what genre it is.
