We decided on these as our costumes because they will be able to represent the bands indie rock genre and also the bands own style. Also, by wearing this specific style of clothing, this allows for the audience to see the youthful side to the band because this clothing worn by rather young people. Furthermore, the reason that the lead band member is wearing a blazer is too separate him from the rest of the band; giving him a sense of authority and power.

We chose to use these instruments because they will connote the indie rock genre to the audience immediately. They will do this because these instruments are what you would stereotypically expect to see in an indie rock music video. We appreciate that a drum set would be more representative of the genre, however we aren’t able to get hold of a drum set. Therefore we chose the keyboard because this is also a very common instrument which a lot of bands use. • Large Condenser Microphone• Electric Guitar (Black Indie Style) • Keyboard • Amp

PROPS

SETTING

• Stage – the stage location will be at Cromwell CC. We are using this stage in order to connote to the audience the that the band are performing at a gig or perhaps rehearsal.

• Room – This location is at the 6th form common room at Cromwell CC. We chose this location so that the audience could get an small insight to the bands lifestyle before the performance.

• Studio – This location will show us walking out of Cromwell CC into the car park. This will hopefully give the audience the impression that we are walking out of a studio.

• Street- The street setting will be filmed in Chatteris. I chose to do this because by gathering my research into similar products I saw that the arctic monkeys had a scene where they were walking through a street. This allows the audience to get a further insight to the band because they are seeing them in different situations.

• Background of Las Vegas- This will hopefully represent the urban style to the band and also signify the popularity of the band because Las Vegas connotes success and money.

• Wasteland area – This location will be our second main location; along with the stage. We chose this area because it represents the rough and unique side to the band. Also, by doing further independent research into the band ‘The Killers’, I found that in their video, ‘Human’ they use a deserted land and this had a great effect.
