TARGET AUDIENCE
Our target audience for the Rock genre would have to be a varied age of
males and females between the age of 13-17.
I have managed to find a video within the Rock genre (My Chemical
Romance – Teenagers) and have managed to find the official statistics of
the video on YouTube.
This is unusual as most rock videos are aimed ant and are more popular
with male. We can also see from the map that the video is most popular
in America, Alaska and the UK.
However, Rock music usually has a vast variety of ages in their fanbase
and often are not just subject to one sex, as both males and females like
them.
CONVENTIONS OF ROCK
For most rock videos in this
day and age, the story of the
actual video is a must, the
narration of the whole video
can be seen as one of the most
important things about the
video. If we look back to the
70’s, when the rock era was
first truly born, most of the
videos just contained footage
from a concert that they have
just recently done, or just the
band performing on a stage to
the camera.
The mise-en-scene is usually simplified, with sets being a stage
and bright stage lights often included – this could be a very simple
music video to film if we do choose rock, this sort of backdrop could
be used for the chorus, and for the rest of the song, a narration can
be filmed.. Depending on the lyrics of the song.
The shots that are mostly used emphasise the bands togetherness,
if it is a band, this could be done simply by a variety of long shots.
Props mostly consist of musical instruments, which are easy to get
hold of. Alcohol in the background, and posters, to keep up the
reputation and persona of the band.
POTENTIAL SONGS TO USE
I think a good potential song that could be used, is
30 Seconds To Mars – City of Angels. This is
because when looking at the lyrics we can
almost picture a story in our minds without
seeing the actual music video, making the
filming process easy if we pick a single route
and stick with it.
With the lyrics “City of Angels” we think of
somewhere in America, this could be achieved
easily by preferably in a place that cannot be
recognised as Peterborough, shots of L.A could
also be used in achieving this American effect.
