Representation of our indie rock band

Representation of the band

Clothing

Stereotypically indie rock band members would dress to be different due to indie rock being a genre that comes from alternative rock where band members and fans of the genre would want to stand out from the norm. As our band consists of all males and are a young indie group, they will most probably wear baggy shirts and ripped jeans to give a more casual and careless appearance, they will also most likely wear dark colours or stick to a predominantly black and white colour scheme.

Location

The locations we have chosen to suit our genre are very urban settings for example: a roof top and skate park. The urban nature of the locations suits our genre as they are often places where young groups of teenagers may be seen and gives the impression of youth and being up to no good.

Instruments

There is a representation within the types of instruments that bands use in the indie rock genre. All the musicians within the genre use live instruments as they create a more raw sound, therefore we chose similar instruments for our band. In a typical band there would be; lead vocals, lead guitarist, Bassist, drummer, and sometimes pianist, which is exactly what we have chosen to use in our band besides the pianist. The style of guitar and bass that may be typically used would be vintage styled which would have been previously used but are worth a lot of money, mostly from the 1960s era.

Product placement

In our music video we have planned to use the product placement of a coke can. We chose to use this as our music genre and the brand Coke both appeal to a similar young audience and therefore our audience would be able to recognise the coke can. However we also planned on having our lead singer from the band kick the coke can out of the shot, symbolising rebellion and mischief.
