Other Bands within the Similar Genre of Music

We gathered these images of various bands of the same genre to the one we chose so that we could gather ideas about mise en scene i.e. costume, backgrounds and props. We also wanted to see certain expressions and how these bands acted in front of a camera so that we could incorporate similar themes into our music video.

We noticed that many of the professional images are edited to black and white to give it the ‘old fashioned’ look, and this seems to be a common theme in many of the bands. We are planning on adding a black and white effect into parts of our video to follow some common conventions of indie video’s.

Many of the images are very unique in terms of camera angles, we noticed that there are many low angle shots to make the band look powerfull, and these types of shots may be use in our music video to express certain moods and emotions.

We also found it useful to include music video's from some of the bands listed above as they may contain simimlar shots, editing and camrea angles. It also gave us the opportunity see if the video's from a similar genre have more of a narritive, storyline based video or abstract. This research was enabled us to discover other bands that could also interest our target audeince.
