Influences

Iv'e been looking at videos that relate to my genre of punk rock. I have been looking at bands that have a unique and consistent style and genre. I have looked at the Clash, UK Subs, the Specails and many other bands that really idolise the idea I am going for. Also a bonus of looking at bands like this is that the group of people I am filming for my promo music video, really like and listen to the bands videos I have looked at.

Type of Genre

Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the USA and UK. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as 'protopunk' music, punk rock bands eschewed perceived excesses of mainstream 1970's rock. Punk bands created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics.

A2 - Set Brief

As my final piece I am going to chose to do 'a promotion package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video' and two other options which are:

A cover for its release as a part of a digipak (CD/DVD package)
A magazine advertisment for the digipak (CD/DVD package)

I have chosen this because I think it is the best suited for me due to knowing a local band that I can record for the music promo video. Also it would be easy to create a CD cover for the release and a promotional magazine advertisement.

By doing this option, I think I can firsty, find out a lot of research of people that have tried it before and look at how they have made their own music video and gather ideas from them to influnce my own piece.
