TRANSCRIPT
Bombay Bicycle Club
An English indie rock band from London. The band is a strong influence to the one in which we are
creating due to there ‘britishness’ being strongly highlighted.
From there choice of attire they appear to look like your typical high school school who lack any
expensive clothing or glamorised appearances. This also portrays the indie genre of there music as by choosing to dress this way meets with the typical
conventions of an indie band. The look the band go for is very similar to the one
we want our band to display since we want our band to appear as if they lack fame since a lot of their money wont be dedicated to their appearance.
How can you swallow so much sleep
The music video for How can you swallow so much sleep has a similar concept to our music
video since it is a stop motion animation. However, due to the low key lighting used throughout
the video it has a dark atmosphere it to which makes it
appear more indie. This video will be influencing our ideas in terms of how it is edited together. The video is edited professionally to
look like a smooth animation whereas ours isn’t perfect in terms of how smoothly the
images go together. Therefore in order to make our video more
professional we will be re-shooting certain scenes to get a
professional standard.
Album artwork
Since I was unhappy with my Digipak and didn’t have many ideas on how to make it look indie I decided to look at a
typical indie band Bombay bicycle club. This is purely because the band’s image and genre of music is identical to the profile we created for our band thus the album artwork will be similar
for what I wish to include on my Digipak.
The use of pale pastel colours highlight indie
which is something I could use to improve my Digipak since bright
colours wasn’t suggesting the indie genre.
The use of old fashioned/
scientific styled drawings adds an artistic element to
the band and immediately
signals indie to the audience.
Muted colours and images add an old fashioned appearance to
the CD
Simplistic design with really iconic and eye-catching images, no complex design.
