Nothing But Thieves

In this post I researched the band "Nothing But Thieves" who are the artists behind our featured song "Sorry" and looked into some of their exisitng music videos.

 Image result for nothing but thievesNothing But Thieves are an english alternative rock band formed in 2012; they signed to RCA Records in 2014. Their music style has been compared to that of The Neighbourhood, Foals and Civil Twilight.Their self-titled debut album released in October 2015 entered the official UK chart and number 7, peaked at number 3 on itunes and was number 1 on the vinyl album charts. After supporting artists including Muse and Twenty One Pilots, their own UK 2017 tour sold out. Their second studio album "Broken Machine," released in September 2017, reached numer 2 in the official UK chart.

Nothing But Thieves have a number of music videos for the following songs:

- Amsterdam
- Trip Switch
- Sorry (Our chosen song)
- Particles
- I'm not made by design
- Excuse me
- If I get high
- Itch
- Ban all the music
- Graveyard whistling

We can see in these stills of their music videos that they adopt a grungy and alternative mood and atmosphere to their videos, using low light or coloured lighting (mainly blue) and that their videos are either narrative or performance.

Mise-en-scene Throughout the video, the dark and alternative clothing that the characters wear creates the aesthetic that we want for our video, in order to appeal to our target audience of young people.

Throughout the video we also see the friendship group smoking and drinking, a common theme in terms of alternative music videos. I was particularly interested in the theme of a love triangle within a friendhship group as a narrative. Camera In terms of camera, we see an establishing

Evaluation Question One

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Myself and two other of the four members in our group sat down to discuss the ways in which our product uses, develops and challenges forms and conventions of real media products. We based our discussion off of the research we conducted prior to planning and constructing our product, and considering inspiration we took from these music videos we researched. There were also instances where we challenged the most common conventions of music videos, as discussed in the clip which we filmed on an IPhone 7 camera and embedded into this post.
