MOOD BOARD

I had to create a mood board that shows all the things my genre is about and the basic feel of my genre. This mood board consist of everything that entails my genre and what my target audience are stereotypically like or into.

HISTORY OF EMO ROCK AND EMO STEREOTYPES

CODES AND CONVENTIONS OF EMO ROCK MUSIC VIDEO

These are the codes and conventions of an Emo rock miusic video. It shows all the things that am Emo rock music video is expected to have. They are the things that audiences use to recognise the genre of music as Emo rock. 

For my music video I intend to use some of these codes and conventions like costume, setting, performance and lighting to convey the genre of my music as well as following the codes and conventions to emo rock music video.

GOODWIN'S ANALYSIS OF EMO ROCK MUSIC VIDEO

GOODWIN'S ANALYSIS OF EMO ROCK MUSIC VIDEO

The first analysis if of "Welcome to the black parade" by My chemical romance.

After looking at the analysis of both Coffin by "Black Veil Brides" and Welcome to the black parade by "My Chemical Romance", I saw the similarities between them and how they each fit into Goodwin's analysis. They both had the notion of looking and I will use that in my video.

I'm going to use it in a scene where I'm  looking through a window when it's raining and I clean the window to reveal my band mates on the other end of the window.

There is also going to be a performance scene where there is a close up on the lead singer. There will also be a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals.

BANDS OF SIMILAR GENRE TO MINE

I looked at a lot of music videos by other bands that are of the same genre to my music because I wanted to see the whether or not they followed the codes and conventions to the genre and how their audiences responded to the music video.

I looked at these music videos because I wanted to know what part of the code if not followed will still express my music genre.

From looking at these videos I realised that all of them had scenes of performance, which is part of the codes and conventions and they also used costume and setting to express the genre. The bands also used props like instrument and emo relation items (sharp objects that can cut through skin).

BAND LOGO

I created a logo for my band because I felt t will make the band to be more identifiable by its fans.

BRIEF

RESEARCH ON RECORD LABELS & FINAL CHOICE

I have looked at a number of record labels that have signed bands with the same genre to mine. After looking at them I decide to choice four that I felt would be more likely to sign my band and the four I felt will be most favourable to my band.

WARNER BROS RECORDS

Warner Bro. Records is an American Record label that was founded in 1958 by Jack Warner. It maintained a close relationship with its former parent, Warner Bros. Pictures. The label has grown over the years, form a struggling minor record label to one of the top recording labels in the world.

They have signed bands like Avenge Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance, Goo goo Dolls and Metallica.

EPITAPH RECORDS

This is an independent record label owned by Bad Religion's guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Its was initially created to sell Bad Religion's record but it then grew into an independent record label.

They have signed bands like Bring me to the Horizon, Dropkick Murphey and Falling in reverse.

REPUBLIC RECORDS

Republic records is a flagship record label of Universal Music Group, Originally founded as Cheese Factory Records. After Motown Records was separate from Universal Motown Records that caused the Universal Motown Republic Group  to shutdown, the label has been reincarnated into Universal Republic Records, until the label was re-activated after one year.

They have signed bands like Black Veil Brides and Afi.

FEARLESS RECORDS

This is an alternative rock-oriented record label that was founded in 1992. It is best know for its earliest pop punk movements captured in the fearless flush sampler and punk bites releases, as well as additional releases by bands such as Bigwig, Get Scared, For all those sleeping, Alesana,MAyday Parade, Pierce the Veil, Bless the fall, A sky at drive and Lost prophets.  

I decided that Fearless Records will be the record label that will sign my band because they have signed more bands that are of similar genre to mine and that mostly sign puck, emo and hard rock bands and I think that the combination of these other bands will be a positive effect on my band.

SONG CHOICE/ GENRE AND BAND NAME

The song I have decided to use for my music video is 'Crash' by Fit for Rivals and it is an alternative rock song. I have decided to work on this project alone because I feel I would achieve more and I will be able to complete the project faster.

Here is the original video of the song and I have no intension of making my band or my video anything like what Fit for Rivals did. My music video will appeal mostly to the younger generation
The name of my band is the mizundastud
