By analysing these particular indie/alternative rock music videos i have discovered a number of elements which i will attempt to emulate whilst creating my music magazine. The first element i will attempt to emulate whilst creating my magazine is the fashion. Each artist has their own unique style which symbolises their influences, style of music and even their personalities. For example, by watching the Miles Kane music video, it is clear to see that his choice of clothing is key to his image and musical style. Kane has clearly been influenced by the 'Mod' culture and so wears smart clothing such as blazers, shirts and various other items of which associate him to that particular group. Although i will not be using the 'mod' look for my chosen models, i will try to emulate the same uniqueness and group association used by Miles Kane to show the readers of my magazine that the featuring band are associated to the indie scene through their choice of clothing.
Another element which i will attempt to emulate whilst designing my music magazine is the use of black and white. 3 out of the 4 videos chosen feature these two, simplistic colours. The use of black and white gives each video an artistic effect which makes both the artist and the scenery more aesthetically pleasing. Also, as the use of black and white is quiet common in the indie/alternative scene, it allows the audience to realise immediately that the particular artist is from the specific genre. I will attempt to emulate this technique whilst designing my music magazine so that the chosen artist appears more aesthetically pleasing and so that the audience can realise immediately that they are from the indie/alternative scene.
The final element i will attempt to emulate whilst designing my magazine is the arrogance of the artists. Each video features an artist with arrogance and therefore a particular noticeable presence, this arrogance makes each artist stand out and in turn, creates a certain likability, something needed when trying to attract an audience. To give my artist this added likability, i will attempt to make them appear arrogant during the photo-shoot in order to attract readers to my music magazine.
Try adding a few words explaining what the generic conventions of these videos are and which elements you'll try and emulate in your magazine.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading through your comments I have decided to take your advice and have added three short paragraphs explaining what the generic conventions of these particular magazines are and how I will attempt to emulate them whilst designing my magazine. By completing this task, I have gained a further understanding of why certain techniques are used to create particular effects and how they are able to intrigue the audience.
