Costumes: why we need it.

The main aim of getting the costumes for the band members is to be able to show what genre the band is playing. So the costumes and props are part of the genre convention. If you take a look at any indie rock band, such as Arctic Monkeys,  all the band members are wearing casual clothes, which at the same ti9me show a slight rebellion in their songs and attitudes in the same way. 

One of the main reasons, as mentioned before is to be able to communicate with the listeners and to show them what genre the band plays in. The other reason for creating specific costumes and props for the band and the music video itself is the fact that it will be easier for both production groups and the cast to be able to get all we/they need and to be able to understand what we will need to order/buy and what we won't need to warry about too much.
