Rock Band Videos- Emily

Here are some of the most famous 'Rock bands' of all time, I have taken a look and analysed parts of their videos to give us as a group and idea too what we could possibly create with our music video. I have related some parts of the music videos back too,The pretty reckless video 'make me wanna die.'

AC/DC

As you can see in their video they have lots of close ups of the different instruments and most of the band. this shows that they are working as a team to get the band moving. this is ironic as they are on a moving truck when they are all playing together. In comparison to 'the pretty reckless' video where the majority of the time the camera is focused on the lead singer. Also in this clip you can see illustrated images to help represent the lyrics;helping the person watching to understand what's going on. For example here the singer say 'ridin' on the highway' and the previous shot cuts to a high angle/ birds eye shot of the highway.

Nirvarna

From this music video you can defiantly see some similarity's between this and 'makes me wanna die.' This video has a green/brown wash over all of the shots; creating a dirty, not so clean cut effect. Also in this you see mostly teenagers, giving the impression of a gig. This represents their target audience as being teenagers and the title of the song teen spirit. In the corner you can seen cheerleaders, and they often drive team spirit so encouraging the crowd of teens.

Genre - Vic

As a group we have chosen to use a Grundge/ alternative Rock genre. We decided upon a punk rock genre because as a group we believed that we could create a more effective video.

We are well aware that 'rocky' styles of clothing involve ripped jeans and tights long messy hair and dark make up, however we are leaning towards a Rock look; which we we will portray in our video.

Our vision for our project is a grimey, dark video. We are going to ensure that our actors are not looking 'clean cut'.We shall ensure our front woman looks powerful, endearing and feisty  We are going to gain inspiration from powerful women in the'rock' scene such as Courtney love and Taylor Momsen from the band The Pretty Reckless.

 We also plan to use attractive women in our video, ensuring that our video is more appealing to a wider male audience as well as female audiences. Gaining inspiration from female front artist such as Hayley Williams from Paramore we plan to ensure that the front woman in our video will wear red lipstick to cannote sexuality.

Our target audience will be focused at 15-25. However it will also to appeal to the elder generations who are ex Courtney Love fans. However we will use empowering shot such as low angle shots to cannote power and not just focusing on sexuality.
