Sad This week i have being well familiar with Green day's work. Green Day is an american punk rock band that formed in 1987 and have became an established success. I am focusing on their music videos and digipak's to obtain some ideas for my innovative music video. Green Day produced a song in the past called "When September ends". This song was a huge interantional hit and the music video to go with it was extremely controversial and appealed to a wide genre of the public. The music video potrays a depressing image with the continous links with the film that conveys sadness and betrayal between a young couple. The band is shot is shot closely aswell and the members in the band are all wearing dark make-up around their eyes to connote their punk/rock image. I think this is extremely effective and this idea makes me think more about using this in my music video. There are many American rock bands to focus on but Green Day have some very effective elements that could lead to being implemented in my music video. Additionally the digipak for their album, "American Idiot". The cover conveys an oppressing and dark image due to the three colours being implemented which are red, white and black which are all sinister colours. The image on their album is someone holding a heart which conveys love, however there is blood dripping which signifies fear. This creates a well controversial image for the band which is extremely effective. I like the colours Green Day have used on their album and i think i may think about using some quite depressing colours but with a meaning to hopefully attract the pulic's attention.
