Music genres

Alternative Rock:

 

Examples of alternative rock

 ‘When you were young’ - The killers

‘starlight’ - The Muse

The settings for both videos are quite abnormal.

Muse-starlight

set theirs on a ship in the middle of the sea

Lots of close ups of playing instruments

Longshots of big open area but them playing shows they love music and that’s what they care about not where they are or what they look like

No need to over dress

Just them and the music

Lots of use of red. Meaning??....?? ship guitar flares lights in crew cab red lighting 

The Killers-when you were young

Both bands appear to be wearing smart-casual clothing, which appears that seems to be quite popular within the genre

In ‘starlight’ the lighting used is an ambient light

Whereas ‘when you were young’ has part shot inside where the lighting is quite limited at times. Different styles of lighting such as ‘side lighting’

Nickelback-someday

the song was released August the 5th 2003 it reached no1 in Canada and top 10 in the UK(No6) 

the song is set in major city in America 

two charactors playing a "broken" relationship 

the woman is cry and packing her suit case while the lyrics say "i wish you'd unpack you suitcase" 

a key point in the video is when the woman steps in the spilled milk and when she walks away she leaves foot prints but when the male walks in the milk he doent leave any foot prints this would sugget he is not alive and just a figure. the video then goes on the see the woman in the jeep and the man chasing the car but when she looks back in the mirrior there is no one there although the man is chasing her the video progress to see the woman still driving carlessly and runs a red light and get hit by a very large lorry and we then see them together this would tell us that she has just dies also and they are now togther.
