I have taken quite a bit of inspiration from this band as they are of course part of the genre that I am attempting to imitate. I like this band as they are part of the Brit pop genre which is usually quite a boring look although they still show quite a bit of interesting style in things such as the costuming and colour as shown on the left. as you can see they have used quite bright colours with an emphasis on yellow and black. This makes for quite a strong and pronounced style which gives their albums a recognisable look. this same colour scheme can be seen above.As I have said, I am also looking at some inspirations form outside of the genre as I believe that they have something to add to the traditional style of the Brit pop band. I have spent quite a while looking at artists from other genres such as pop, rock, and glam rock. I would particularly like to focus in on David Bowie as he has a very diverse range of styles, some of which I hope to take inspiration from. He is also a great inspiration to my work as many of his videos focus on telling some sort of story instead of just creating a performance to fit the song.
As well as other genres, I am looking at some other popular Brit pop bands for inspiration. I looked at a few popular music videos from another Brit pop band "U2". they had some interesting techniques that they used in a few of their videos. for a start they were very different to the pop videos that I had watch previously and even differed from pulp's. they used a combination of coloured and monochrome picture, granted that the coloured scenes were still quite dull. this brought a definite feel of sadness to the videos. the great thing about U2's videos is that they create a great mood with use of the colour, lighting and techniques such as slow fading.
