Costume is very important in a music
video as it can suggest what kind of
person the artist is through what
they are wearing at the time.
Catfish and the Bottlemen, Soundcheck.
Early in the video, the singer is shown wearing a black blazer with a
black shirt. This is done purposely to comply with the genreral stereotype
of what is normally in indie rock music videos. In this specific scenario it
was done deliberately to tie in with the black and white theme of the
music video.
Arctic Monkeys,
Fluorescent Adolescent.'
Similar to the 'Soundcheck' costume that i analyse below, the costume shown here is of a very
dark colour once again, he is wearing a long dark jacket with what appears to be a suit. This is
done purposely for the same reason as Soundcheck as it complies with what indie rock music
is known for. However, in this particular music video, it is done purposely to suggest the dark
nature of music and the artist, as well as the genre as a whole.
