Another change of band.. hopefully the final one

Hang Fire Empire didn't get back to me on the offer of the music video so unfortunately once again i had to change my band. This time i hope that this will be the band i stick with. They are a indie trio called 'the Zetas' and are a Bodmin College based band which is my college which will make meetings much easier. i have already had a meeting with the band which involved choosing the name of the song i would be using which will be 'Off Peace' which is their newest song which i should be receiving the lyrics and live version of the song within the next week. i am glad that i am able to be proactive on the project because i have been unable to do any work for a few weeks without a band or song which was very frustrating. i am working with the band closely to produce something that we will both like. The way that this band links with the youth identity is because each of the members are aged 16-17 years old which also means their target audience will be roughly the same age. they are looking for a music video which is a bit different and which will make them stand out from the crowd. i shall have to adjust my research slightly to accommodate my new bands genre. i am looking forward to working with this band as i feel all the members have something to get to the video although they want me to have the main creative control. I have been thinking about playing on the conventions of them being young and using some adults in the video and changing them into teenagers and the band members being adults. this would push the stereotypes of both adults and teenagers to make this video a bit different.
