Representations In Our Music Video

Representations

In our music video we are trying represent the indie scenesters genre with the use of the band and the audience. The reason for this is because the song is under the indie/alternative genre, we want to focus on that by using costumes that would be classed as indie, and even more so we want to create the video as whole that would be classed  as indie. To represent this, there will also need to be effort put in to those in audience, as they will need to look like they fit in to the music genre, and it will make it look a lot more realistic if you have people who would realistically be at a Courteeners gig. As we are already including equipment of the band such as guitar, bass, drums, keyboard etc... These instantly help to represent the indie/alternative genre because in this area it is what they heavily focus on. 
We want to represent this certain category because we feel that we are most comfortable and confident with choosing the correct setting and having the experience to try and get it to be as realistic as possible. 
We have chosen to set our music video at a venue such as Lock42 or the Cookie Jar because we feel that we have more chance of creating a realistic version of the song for our video. This represents our genre because nearly every artist that plays at venues like these are associated with the indie genre, and it is the most realistic and acceptable way of trying to create a video similar to the artist and what type of venue they would play at.  
With the use of the venue, the band and the audience, we are going to try and represent everything that you would see at an indie gig by working on all of these collectively. Our main focus is trying to get the band to look like a real indie band, and this is because we know that there will be many shots of them due to the fact that there will be many shots backstage of the 'band ' that will be included in the video. This is why we want to try our hardest to represent the band in a way that they would be seen and classed as indie.
