Deciding our genre

Once we was briefed on the task we decided what groups we was going to be in. My group for this coursework is Georgina Collyer, Ollie Shellard and Sophie Dockerty. We choose to be a group because we thought we would work well together as a group and produce a good music promo video, a CD cover and magazine cover. As a group we decided to focus on the genre of 'Indie' we choose to do this particular genre because we all know a lot about the genre. In the genre of Indie there are many bands and artists which we are aware of, e.g. Arctic Monkeys, The Cribs, Jamie T, The Kooks etc. By doing research into these artists we can get a good insight into the Indie genre and therefore produce high quality products. To begin our research as a group we done a mind map of our genre 'indie', which included connotaions, target audience, where it comes from and artists.
