7. Creating the Mock Band/Artist

Style: 
Sticky Fingers: Sticky Fingers are an indie band that work quite a lot of reggae elements into their music, their earlier style is not typical of the indie genre.

Their more recent style is similar to that of the Arctic Monkeys' style with the smarter more dressy look, featuring a lot of leather and denim. It is useful and effective for bands to change their styles because it can often change what they represent and also keeps them relevant in the ever changing styles of the media world and in society today.

Although the two styles of indie music that the two bands play are different, they still look very similar in the way of displaying more modern conventions of the indie rock genre. We see a lot of dark colours, what we can assume to be black including materials like leather and and denim.

Band Mates:
- Boyo
- Max
- Sam
- Leo
- Harley

For the music video we will have more cast members as extras in the background of the video and also with the band.

The name of the mock band is Brother Be, it will be a five piece band with the conventional indie format in terms of members and instruments; lead singer/rhythm guitarist (Boyo), lead guitarist (Sam), bass guitarist (Harley), Keys and Synths (Leo) and Drums (Max). This style/format of band would the band a typical indie sound but other styles could be worked in. 

Upon further consideration we have decided to use a different approach in the music video, we decided to use a couple to film which we could create more of a narrative with instead of shooting the band, this proved easier also as with our desired location (Scarborough) we would have had to get the whole cast there which would have been more difficult and more expensive too.




This is the look that we went for in the video instead of going for all black and leather, we went for a more modern indie look with the denim jackets. This will be explained in more detail in the mise-en-scene for my video (post 15): https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3478478989231054336#editor/target=post;postID=5474480068548049946;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=13;src=postname
