Craig (Left) is playing the guitarist in my band and Rowan (Right) is playing the lead singer (front man). These photos were taken when I was about too start filming and Rowan is tuning the guitar up.
Close up shot of Rowan. Rowan conveys the typical band singer for this type of genre. He has a lot of piercing that is viewed by society nowadays as an act of rebellion, although it is becoming more commonly accepted, it is still viewed in a negative light by the older generation. This links with the clothing worn in the 1970's.
(The Models) As you can see the most seen colour worn by people who associated themselves with rock/punk is black. Therefore by getting Rowan to also wear black, the audience can make the reference to the type of genre.
Close up shot of Craig.
The clothing that Craig is wearing isnt so conventionally typical of the genre, however the black skinny jeans were very popular in the 1980s with heavy metal rock bands. Even though the band I am using isnt heavy metal, it has an element of rock throughout the song. Bands such as Slayer and Meticalla supported drainpipe trousers. By the 1990's artists such as Freddie Mercury and Bon Jovi had also converted to wearing the slim fit jeans. Thus by Craig wearing these types of trousers there can also be a link to the genre.
Very impressive pics, could you add a caption explaining how the photographs of your artists communicate genre. This would strengthen your post.
