Arctic Monkeys- Balaclava
Here is our final product: our A2 indie rock music video to the song Balaclava by Arctic Monkeys
Shot List and Shooting Schedule
For our shooting schedule, we had to take into consideration the availability of our performers, so many of the dates are when we had frees from school. This meant that we had very little time to film, so our settings had to be near/quite local so that we could get there in time to film.
Character Profiles
•Performer 1: Frontman- The main singer of the
band, aged 19-23, looks a bit 'rugged' and a bit 'edgy'. Conforms to Hebdige's
youth culture theory of young people being represented as 'fun' or 'trouble' as
he will be a bit of a 'badboy'. He will be of working class, and will be
inspired by the social realism movement. He will have 'bad' habbits, such as
smoking and occasional drug taking. He will have occasional mood swings where
he will go from being quite moody to really funand being up for a good time,
however he is always dedicated to the band and spends hours alone writing
lyrics which mean something to him. He doesn't conform to mainstream ideas and
attitudes and goes out of his way to express his 'individuality'. He will be of
white ethnicity, but will challenge Gramsci's theory by not being dominant or
superior over any other ethnicity.
•Performer 2: Drums- This performer will again be in the age brackets of
19-23 and will have more of a 'rough' 'rugged' look to him with visable tattoos
covering his arms. Like the frontman, the drummer will be of working class, and
will have an array of 'dirty' habbits such as smoking and drinking. The
drummers personality won't be as dominant and 'in your face' as the frontmans-
he will be a little quieter and laidback, and will be the 'good' conscience of
the band. Again like he forntma, the drumer will be of white ethnicity, but
again will challenge Gramsci's theory by not having dominance over any other
ethnicity.
•Performer 3: Guitar- The guitarist and back up vocals of the band will
be the youngest of the three, with an age range of 18-21, and will be the the
most boisterous and and troublesome member of the band. He will be the little
brother of the frontman, so will also be working class, and of white ethnicity.
Like the other members, he will smoke and drink and will also occasioanlly
abuse drugs. He will conform the most to Hebdige's youth culture theory as
being 'fun' and 'trouble' as he will
be the one who always comes up with 'fun' ideas for them to do which usually
ends up with them getting in trouble.
I put together a series of black and white setting which reflect the sort of places that our artists would visit. The images have quite a gritty feel and this is a main theme that we wish to convey throughout our music video.
