Following the visual treatment provided by Charlotte, I created moodboards for each setting and character that covered the set design,
character outfits and make-up, lighting, camera angles, and visual effects. 

For the live performance setting, I used the band’s promo photos as inspiration as I believe it is important to reflect their
visual identity. Earthy tones and blurry shots.

Unfortunatelly we didn’t have much control over the lighting at the show but we managed to capture the overall atmosphere.

For the bedroom scenes, I created two contasting settings and character designs that also complimented each other. Keeping both rooms cosy and whimsical, Chloe’s character is a musician and songwriter, while Ali’s character enjoys painting and fashion.

We kept Chloe’s bedroom as it is - with the band posters, tapestry, guitars, etc., lit it in warm toned lighting and added fairy lights and a sunset lamp to complete the mood. We chose clothing from her wardrobe, and kept her look natural.

Ali’s character is elegant and colourful, influenced by the 70s and heavily inspired by The Love Witch. Whimsical and artistic, she wears bold, sparkly and colourful make-up, and has tons of jewelry.
Her bedroom walls have drawings on the walls, tapestry above the bed, paintings on canvans on the floor, a vinyl collection (Including Hey, Honey by Pearll), candles in bottles, sketchbooks, flowers hanging upside down on the walls, vanily table that also serves as a desk because why not, scattered watercolour pallets mixed with eyeshadow pallets. She is the Art and the Artist.

Face Chart by Snezhana Peykova for Ali’s make-up:

I built the set from skratch in my photography and film studio. I started by adding some hand-drawn pieces on the wall. dry roses hanging upside down, handwritten quotes from the song lyrics. I made a vinyl sleeve for “Hey Honey!” that I added on the wall. I also made an abstract neon sign using el wire. Then I added the dressing table, sketchbooks, paints, make-up, easel, and gathered the rest of the props. Special thanks to Marielle Serbest for providing the beautiful paintings for the set!
Finally, I added a clothing rail for the clothes provided by Alouette and I.

Moving on to the club scene where the two characters meet each other, I wanted the lighting to reflect the two characters. We started the scene with pinks and purples and shifted to pink and orange. We used a wash light and two battery powered RGB lights, one of them with a strobe effect, to achieve the desired look. During the filming process, we focused on capturing the overall atmosphere, shots of the crowd, and interactions between the two characters.
