conventions of music video/ ancillary tasks

we have had many ideas for our music and after our research we have had inspirations from bands such as :
three days grace
hollywood undead
slipknot
metallica
kiss
green day
hollywood undead - undead 
slipknot -
kiss -
from all these bands we noticed they were masks to give them a uniqe brand identity which we like, and have decided we will wear masks in our video. the masks we will wear our white masks which will be designed diffrently to each bands member to give everyone a diffrent image and personality

as you can see each mask has it own personality, we found inspiration from this as the masks fit the rock image because many other bands use maskes aswell.

slipknot have also used the masks to show there brand image. these masks also reflect the heavy metal image of scary and creepy. this has been done
we also noticed that colours are very pirticular either using colours such as black or red. dark colours are used to reflect the dark musical tone. we have decided to stick to the traditonal rock image and wear black clothing with maybe and contrasting with bright colours
such as yellow or red.

as we can see from these images above, the theme of black clothing is used with either jeans or black pants. we have decided to dress  in black cloth to stick to the traditional dark clothing

                              BAND LOGO

logos are very popular in music and help set a brand identity we will be researching diffrent logos to see how they give a brand identity and how they look.

A simple logo that clearly displays there name "Led Zepplin" in big front with there signture logo font. using black and white the title stands out very clear and is very effective.

Metallicas Logo is a traditonal one, there name in a signture font that refelcts the fast pace metal music becuase of its sharp edges and is coloured the same as metal a very recognisable logo.

Paramores brand new eyes logo, using butterfly wings they have kept a close link with there album civer, and you can see a clear brand identity. also the logo has been done in black and white to stand out.

 Glassjaw have a simialer logo to clothes, using initals, the G and J have been joined up as one a very clever and inventive logo, that is much diffrent to other logos. although they have kept the the traditonal and popular black and white colour scheme.



 pendulum has a very intresting logo easily recognisable and unique. A very colourful logo, it is very diffrent to many other logos, using crop circle like patterns to give it a strange design.the logo fits very well in there video too, as they feature crop circles, aliens etc with the electro/rock music.
