RMA Costume research

Looking at similar bands to the kooks I have found that the dress sense is extremely similar if no the same. I also found that the colours is same as well, the main colour of the outfits worn by these bands is black. 

This is the kooks as you can see they are wearing very basic and dull clothing, the colour of the clothes is also black. This dress sense matches the type of music the kooks produce and the label the band have created. The type of music they produce matches the clothing as the music they produce falls under the indie/alternative rock genre. The kooks are also an independent band and this is shown by their basic clothing and the dull dark colours which is what expected from these types of bands.

 

This is Imagine Dragons.  Imagine Dragons have connoted a brand and identity through there music, by creating distinct sounds and compiling various genres into one song. Their image connotes four people who I would say are normal, dressed in neutral colours of black and not representing anything specific apart from themselves.

 

This is the Arctic Monkeys . The repeated use of denim and dark clothing emphasises them as a typical indie rock band, as these are clothes that are so often associated with the genre, though the carefully selected look suggests that they focus just as much on image and projection as they do on the music they play. Coinciding with this point, the lead singers (Alex Turner) is slicked and styled into a noticeable quiff, which perfectly matches the current hairstyle trends. Ultimately, this consolidates the band as a well-known, mainstream indie rock band, what with the conformation to clothing and trends, and the lack of any real posing showing that the public will recognise them immediately, without need for any gestures or signs.

 

 

We as a group will try and combine all these different band looks into our own music video as this is what the target market will expect from a alternative rock music video. Having our band dressed like this will also please our audience which is what our aim is.
