After doing some research into the genre we are think of doing we have found that a location which is used quite often in alternative music videos is the woods. This has inspired us to set the performance part of our video in some woods as it will make the video fit into the generic conventions of our genre better. At first our group was planning on setting the whole video in the woods however after discussing it we have decided to only set part of it there as it will make the video more interesting and will again make it fit into the genre more. Some of the music videos which inspired us to use this location are;
For our music video we have decided to use a band. We decided to do this instead of using a solo artist for several different reasons. The main reason was because it means that while filming we will be able to get a more varied amount of shots. For example we can get some of the whole group performing then we can get close ups of each member signing, or playing the guitar etc. We also decided to use a band because it would make our act fit into the genre more as there aren't very many solo artists in the genre and it is mainly dominated by bands. We haven't made a final decision on how many members will be in our group yet but at the moment we are thinking that we will have one lead singer, one bass player, one guitarist and one drummer. I think it would be a good idea if we had at least four members because a lot of bands in out genre contain four members. I also think that four members would make it a lot easier as I think three wouldn't be enough to get as many varied shits as we would need and more then four maybe five would make it harder as there would be too many people and it might be harder to film them all without making most of the video performance based.
