On the 8th October Danni and Charlotte went to meet the band. The girls ran through our ideas with the band and took their views, ideas and input on board. It is important to listen to them as they are doing us a favour by letting us use their song. It will be their band name when the video is up on YouTube, and we obviously want to give them something to be proud of.
We began to get a feel for the band and decided to explore how they portrayed themselves.
'Everything you love, but slightly better!!!!'
'Feel free to paint your own influences and references on the Tramp Etiquette Sound....but no doubt that will change next week.'
These quotes suggest a versitile and easy going band who are open to all sorts of music and influences.
We then decided to research some Indie/Rock music videos to cement our ideas and find out which conventions we would like to follow.
Both of these videos show the band playing and singing, this helps the Showing the band playing live in what looks to be a ‘gig’ setting is very common in ‘indie/rock’ videos. It helps the audience to develop a real feeling for the band’s energy and enables them to feel as if they are part of the song, as well as helping the band to re-create and reflect what the atmosphere would be like if the audience watching the music video went to one of their gigs, which is in itself a form of self promotion.
