The band which we had to do our Preliminary Task on were 'Acres of Life' who are as of yet and unsigned band.
What we did before they came to shoot their music video was to research them on the internet. The sites we looked on to were ones such as twitter to see how 'popular' they were and what kind of fans they had, which then again gave us an idea of their image and allowed us to adjust the music video to fit their style. We could also see which videos, songs or links they had uploaded which then showed us their style of music and how they wanted to represent themselves which gave us something to work with for our preliminary task.
Their Twitter:

Then we also looked into bands which had a similar style of music to them in order to look at the way in which their music videos were set up. These were the ones which we found:
Underoath:

Senses Fail:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg4SuzZ6BWk&feature=related
fast cuts during performance aspect, moving Camera
Coheed and Cambria:

no performance just narrative
Alexisonfire:

only narrative, often detail shots to tell story, difference in time spent on different shots
The Almost:

Quick cuts on performance, mainly focusing on singer, some shots of other band members
Rise Against:

Band shown within setting, moving shots
The Used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dBCgAo-RA
Performance- quick cuts, a lot of close ups on the singer, no close ups on other band members
So after looking at other bands in that genre and looking at their twitter page and pictures of them I think we had a pretty good idea of how we were going to shoot them in our prelim task. So we adjusted our shots to fit their image slightly in order to stylize the video in the right way. Our wide shot of the band for instance was shot from slightly below which gave the members of the band the impression of being more powerful.
