Target audiences

There are many aspects of the rock genre which portrays to the audience of the obvious genre which the bands are associating with.














Costume & make-up

This is stereotypical of the rock genre due to his costume of the skull on the right side of his shirt. The skull symbolises the hard and unnerving style of the music and offers a form of escapism for the fans that they can relate too, so they can get away from there horrid life's and just listen to some music which relates directly to their life's, this is what rock music is all about. The colour black also symbolises the mood of which the rock genre creates in the mind of its target audiences. The harmful warning signs portrays the rock genre as dangerous and head banging to listen to.

Is this possible? This is possible as you could easily walk to the local clothes store and buy a black shirt and get some skull stickers.


Props



















The genre of this bands music is clearly shown as rock genre. This is simply because the guitar is an electric guitar which is a symbol of any of the different kinds of rock. But this specific guitar, the ESP LTD Viper-300FM, is specifically designed for a sound which would only be associated to rock, a sound which makes the difference between rock and indie or pop or D&B. Also the design of the guitar is an all over skull rhythm design which is stereotypical of the rock genre.

Is this possible? This is possible as there are many ways to get hold of the same type of guitar without the decals in shops down Denmark Street, and then you could get your own rock type of decals to put onto your guitar.


Lighting



















There is not a specific set of lighting which can be used for rock bands. This lighting however is from a live Pink Floyd concert stereotypes the rock genre as the random flashing lights in the still image indicates the lights are moving and switching quickly, which reflects rock music.

Is it possible? It could be done, but money limits what can actually be done regarding the stage and lighting.
