For my music video to 'Lost' that I have written, I will need to portray the song in such a way that the types of people that listen to my genre of music will enjoy and possibly relate too.
This is the case with every kind of band/artist. Their following will expect to hear/see things that are expected from the band, from the music all the way to the clothes that they wear.
Recently I came across a photographer called James Mollison who had a project that he called 'The Desciples'. This looked into what the fans and followers of certain musical artists looked like, taking pictures of individuals after gigs and putting them together in a row. Have a look at Millison's website and take a look at his work for yourself, then come back and see my comments about them

This is an interesting aspect to fans. The people chosen to be photographed for these shots are clearly trying to dress like the musical artist they have come to see, dressing like them and reflecting their appearance.
Having looked at this, I feel that in my music video I will have to really portray the traits and appearances that the band normally emit. Below is a link to Monday Coma's Facebook page, Twitter page and Soundcloud, have a look to see what kind of band they are as well as listening to their music to distinguish what kind of band they are and so in turn understand what their fans would expect and want to see in a music video of theirs.
I see Monday Coma to be a quite light hearted band that seem to have a message in most of their song which they are trying to portray. This being the case I will try to portray the mood and message of the song whilst trying to get across the feel of the band when showing them playing.
