How we will represent our characters and band

From our research into the Arctic Monkeys we can see how they are represented across different media forms including live performances and and how they represent characters in the music videos. From this we have seen that they portray a image of being relatable from the way they act and the mise en scene of the video's and live performance, this will therefore show how we modelled the band on the Arctic Monkeys and this is because of their success in using this look and so we will model our artist on this look. We will attempt to capture in our music video through the clothing which we chose for the people in the band to wear. We are not yet fully decided on if the characters will wear a long sleeved or short sleeved shirt but more likely it will be short sleeved as that is how the Arctic Monkeys dress in most of the live performances.





















The fact that the band will wear dark clothes is because the dark clothing creates the idea that the band are more mysterious and this is one of the key ideas surrounding the genre as it is alternative rock and therefore is music which is different from the norm and hard to identify just what it is and so with the band wearing dark coloured clothes to represent themselves they will demonstrate this mysterious look which is something applied to the whole genre not just our video.
Alternative rock attempts to look into the social and political issue of the world we live in as seen in songs such as "Bitter sweet symphony" by The Verve or Nirvana's "Smells like teen spirit" along with many other songs by multiple bands within the genre. This is mostly represented by the clothes that the bands wear as they mostly wear clothes which are more relatable e.g. jeans and a T-Shirt and that is why the band in our music video will also wear these clothes as it is a representation of the band trying to connect with the listeners as they are showing how they are similar to them.
The way that the bands dress helped them to gain popularity therefore as people will want to listen to them are they can relate to them and this is why we will give the band this look when we shown them preforming in the music video.
