Looking at Costumes and Style

Lana Del Rey is known for her classic, vintage, glamourous style. We hope to convey this is our music video. 

Blue Jeans:

The music video for "Blue Jeans was shot entirely in black and white. This adds a sense of sophistication and glamour to the video. As the primary setting for the video was a pool the only costume Lana Del Rey wears is a swimming costume. It is completely white so it works well with the monochrome. The who video is rather intense and yet still has elegance to it. 

 

 Summertime Sadness: 

The music video was very artistic and LDR doesn't actually feature heavily in it. But when she does she dons her signature curls and is wearing a white dress.

Burning Desire:

In "Burning Desire" LDR the setting is very simple. She is performing on a stage in a classic theatre which is empty. This scene is all full of lip synch and is overlapped by shots of a car driving.  It also alternates between black and white and colour. For the third time, Del Rey's hair is in curls and she wears a white dress. 

 

National Anthem: 

The music video for "National Anthem had a more specific theme to it. It was set in the 1960's and was based around the Kennedy's, with Del Rey playing Jackie O. At the beginning of the video she seems to be Marilyn Monroe acting out the classic time that Monroe sang happy birthday to the President. Throughout the video there are a lot of signature styles of the 60's from the attire to the hair. 

   

Born to Die: 

The "Born to Die" music video is rather performance based and it has a strong narrative of a distressed, abusive relationship. It has strong artistic elements and beautiful locations. This is another time wear Del Rey's hair is in curls and she wears a white dress. 

Ride: 

"Ride" is another narrative video, it tells the story of girl who never really belonged and had to work her way from the bottom to the top. She is featured multiple times in the video in various different outfits. This is a more laid back video compared to others by Del Rey and Hollywood glamour doesn't feature high in this video. Her hair is in an unruly 70s style perm and not its usual sleek self. 

FINAL ANALYSIS

After looking at all of Lana Del Rey's music video's and analysing them I think that the more vintage and classic the better. There should be heavy eye make up and sophisticated clothes. The actresses hair should be curled and she should wear a white dress.
