Unit Brief

As the second part of the unit MFS109: Styling for Stage, Television and Film I am required to create two individual fashion-focused images created with for the use of using contemporary media technologies for a music video, which are represented from the theme of one of these following gothic horror urban legends:

• The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs.

• The Fatal Hairdo.

• The Clown Doll/Statue.

• The Killer in the Backseat.

• The Hook.

• Human's Can Lick Too!

• Bloody Mary.

• Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn on the Lights?

• The Boyfriend's Death.

• Buried Alive!

These urban legends are all popular stories that are alleged to be true and passed in from the teller to audience continuously as a form of warning as well as for entertainment. They often end with a concerning, humorous or humiliating event, which will always have happened to someone else rather than the teller, with a lesson learnt by the audience which they will remember and understand in a relatable real-life situation.  

Through this blog I will be recording all of my research an initial idea's that build up to the final designs and images that are specific to the fashion related unit brief. As part of this I will be displaying; research into my chosen legend, previous use of gothic horror in fashion and film/media as well as design development and the compulsory general moodboard and two story boards for each look as specified in the unit brief. This will allow me to look back on my previous research easily and also prove to readers through the documentation how i have reached the final designs and images needed for the fashion-focused looks. 

I intend to create and show as part of my final images and sense of both beauty and fear for these horror-fashion based images.
