I'm going to have two different costumes for both the protagonist/male singer and the antagonist/female singer, depending on whether they are in reality or wonderland.
Reality
Protagonist
For the reality shots, the protagonist will be dressed in casual clothes which are suitable for a young male. Preferably, he will wear chinos with a simple top, jacket, and trainers. By having understated clothing, this will represent him to be a typical male teenager who is conscious of his appearance but not interested in following fashion. The chinos will help to achieve this look as they are smart yet casual. Facial hair will make him look a bit more scruffy and create connotations that he does little to maintain it. His hair will be left unstyled to add to this effect.
Antagonist
For the reality shots, the antagonist will be dressed in leggings, plain shoes, and a cape style coat. This is to keep her look classic as she is a figure in the protagonist's mind, rather than an actual human with her own style. The simplicity of the look will mirror the protagonists, maintaining a link between the two characters. However, she will have heavy eye make up in order to be captivating and dominating.
Wonderland
Protagonist
When in Wonderland, I would have him to still be wearing aspects of his clothing as to before - I am thinking of keeping the chinos, with a change in top from something simple to a shirt with bright colours. The change to a shirt will reflect that his place of importance on drugs means that he is more willing to dress smartly - as if to 'dress up' for the drug. The bright colours will give a kaleidoscope effect and will represent a feeling of self-confidence.
Antagonist
The antagonist, corresponding to the protagonists change in clothing, will also be wearing more vibrant clothing. She will also wear elements of clothing which suggest her to be a cat (to intertextually reference the Cheshire Cat of 'Alice in Wonderland', such as ears, make up, and mittens. In this narrative, I would like her to be the more dominating figure in terms of costume as the protagonist is ultimately under her control during this.
