The artist will be shown in performance pieces of my music video briefly. Close up shots of my artist's face will be included in the music video, likewise with my digi pack. It is important that i establish the star image of my artist in regards to the digipack.Artwork of the certain genre that I am working with do not particularly flaunt their star image as much as artists in the charts such as Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. It terms of the male gaze, my digipak and star image of my artist will not conform to this ideology, there are no sexuality or intimate connotations surrounding the music video or art work. Other more popular genres such as R'n'B and Pop music may portray a tone of sex and reputation. This is due to the certain target audience that those artists entertain.

It is important to consider the tastes and distastes of my target audience. From my audience research and focus groups I have discovered that members from my target audience enjoy listening to music for pleasure and down time.

Therefore the star image of my artist will be subtle but effective. To start, I will need to choose an appropriate stage name, that is catchy and recognisable to my target audience. For my stage name I could use a normal noun such as 'Robert Smith', it would also make sense to use names which audiences would not associate with a singular artist, such as 'Hozier', 'The Weekend'. I have brainstormed ideas of stage names.

BAND NAMES:

Tim Sladon

Tim Keaton

Tim Jaxon

Tim Muckler

Tim Starr

Tim Martinez

I have chosen a potential actor for my artist. I have chosen this candidate due to their age and appearance. The candidate also relates to my target audience, and the vocals of my chosen track. I will create a star image for my artist, that will show comparisons to artists like Morrissey, and Johnny Marr. My artist will be presented wearing smart casual clothing in the performance shots of my work.

The artist will also act as the cross dresser of my music video. This therefore will make the narrative and performance shots of my music video collaborate together and unite. This will also suggest to my target audience the controversial star image of my artist, drawing my audience closer to be entertained by my artist.

The candidate's style and fashion are also appropriate for the star image of my artist. The artist will be shown wearing smart casual clothing like stars such as Morrissey and David Bowie.

Before I create my artist I will also be looking into other performers like my artist. The Smith from man and now solo artist Morrissey has played a significant aspect to my research, due to his individual solo career in the music industry.

Artists such as Morrissey, in frequent years, portray a quirky style both with in their music and style. Morrissey has still kept his identity of unconventionality and a strange star image. Despite his age and status, his identity has been left unchanged and untested. Morrissey's peculiar stage persona still lives on in his late career. My target audience will also be familiar with artists such as Morrissey, whilst also being big fans of his work. This therefor suggests that my artist will also portray the certain style that Morrissey himself does. Similarities of Morrissey and my artist will include style/star image/clothing/age. This way my target audience will become attached to the type of artist my performer is, as they will be familiar with such performers like Morrissey, and others such as Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie.

I have completed research on famous front men through out music industry and history. I have focus on legends such as Morrissey and Jim Morrison to adapt to my own ideas which will help when I create my front man/artists for my music video. As my music video is both narrative and performance base I will need to include clips from the artists them selves. I will also need to match the vocals of the music video to the over all appearance of my artist.

Recently i have researched into Jim Morrison, leading vocals of the Doors, and how front men like Morrison have influenced popular front men and artists today. As I have discussed in recent posts Jim Morrison portrayed a specific star image and stage persona. He was known for his deep poetic literature as well as 'the doors front man', who experimented with alcohol and drugs. Modern day artists like Pete Doherty and Alex Turner have adopted the star image and style that Jim Morrison possessed. Smoking and taking illegal drugs has now become a fashion and style to most front men, this is evident in artists like Alex Turner, front man of Arctic Monkeys. Therefor my artist will show likeness between the certain artists shown. I will be using a male artist due to the tone and sound of the vocals on the record.
