Representation- Who/ What?

The people who are set to be in our music video are 3 males and 1 females, all with the 'indie' styling and trying to boast a uniqueness about themselves. There is a lead singer Steve who we want to appear very charismatic, the drummer Will who will stick to his flannel shirts, Lewis on guitar who we hope to become infamous for his hats and there's Georgia also on guitar who will be a dominant female of the group yet still managing to fit in with the guys and not dressing to attract attention. By using members of both sex they can represent both genders of many of the young British population. The genre of indie is becoming very popular amongst the vast population of teens and 20 year olds in the UK, so by using a stereotypical band of the genre, our audience will be able to relate to what they are wearing, singing and what they're getting up to in the video. You will see the band getting up to all sorts of fun activities. We hope this will give the overall representation of a band that are full of high spirits, are a spontaneous group and are always having fun and laughing with each other.

Representation - How?

As we have created an indie/alternative band, it is common for there to be approximately 4 or 5 band members, because of this we have chosen to have 4. We are representing the 4 members of the band as a group by the way in which we have one lead singer, Steve, two guitarists, Lewis and Georgia, and a drummer, Will; each person has a specific role in the band.
Due to the members consisting of 3 males and 1 female, we have chosen to not make the female, Georgia, stand out too much as otherwise the attention would be taken away from the idea of a band of 4. The ways we have shown that Georgia will not stand out during the video are that, firstly she will be wearing black shorts and black tights to blend with the dark trousers/jeans that the males will be wearing. She also joins in with all the activities in the music video, showing that the band all get along well and she feels like she fits in. The only time during the video where Georgia is the odd one out is when Steve, Lewis and Will are skateboarding etc, this is purely because these activities are not among Georgias talents.
Our representation of the band is shown through all of our posts, relating to photo shoots, band profiles, storyboard and other band-related posts.

Representation - Why?

Our music video has nine different locations and explores disjuncture with hints of performance and illustration. We have chosen to do this as it is the most suitable for our genre and the most conventional of the indie/alternative genre we are aiming for. During discussions of band members, we picked four of the most suitable (of many) that we thought could work well together, with good time management skills but finally, and most importantly, looked the part. The combinations of fashions of these four people are appropriate for our genre and really capture the "kitchen sink indie" that Little Comets are widely known for. We have looked and chosen carefully these nine locations as we believe it is quality in music videos, not quantity and this will allow us to use more technical kit, such as better lighting etc. as we will have to transport it less. We have also considered how many cameras to use and we are using at least 2 a majority of the time, as this will give us more angles and better shots overall if everything is being filmed from two angles.
