Costumes

Costumes Included in the Music Video

The costumes worn by the performers of my music video of the song, "Stuey's Morris Isis", will and have followed the codes and conventions of stereotypical Indie music videos.

The lead singer/guitarist wore a shirt with dark jeans and trainers (far right) - this is typical of the indie genre, with many performers such as The Arctic Monkeys.

The lead guitarist also wore a similar outfit, as shown in the picture (middle). As the guitarists perform very similarly, I thought it would make sense for them to wear similar outfits in order to fit in with the indie genre, as they are the two band members that the audience see the most.

In the indie genre, drummers don't stereotypically wear costumes similar to the other members of the band. This is because the drummers are at the back of the set, as demonstrated in my music video, and they don't also represent the image of the band like the guitarists and lead singers do. The drummer for my music video can be seen at the far left of the picture.

I feel that all costumes worn by the members of the band conformed to the indie genre of music, thus adding a realism to the music video. These photos were taken before we started filming.
