A2 Media Studies Music Video: Artist Research


Bullet For My Valentine.


Members:
Matt Tuck- Vocals, guitar, lead songwriter
Michael ‘Padge’ Paget- Lead guitar

Why did I choose them?
I chose them because they are an influential Metalcore band who stick with their Thrash Metal roots as well as adding screamed vocals to melodic lyrics and vocals into their songs.

Who is their target audience?
Their target audience is anyone who likes the Metalcore genre, teenagers who have problems, like being bullied or anything else related to that.

Why does this artist appeal to their target audience?
The way in which BFMV appeal to their target audience is by being a real band who know the harsh realities of life through their variety of artwork and lyrics. The lyrics also have a meaning to them that makes the target audience feel like that they are not alone in this. Their look is also influential because it is in relation to the genre with the reds and the blacks.



Eyes Set To Kill.



Members:
Alexia Rodriguez- Clean Vocals, Lead Guitar, Piano
Anissa Rodriguez- Bass, Backing Vocals
Caleb Clifton- Drums, Samples
Cisko Miranda- Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Keys

Why did I choose them?
I chose this band because they have a specific style of having male screaming vocals and clean female vocals, as well as having a mixture of male and female members of the band. Their music is also a concept within Metalcore, mainly because they have the Metalcore conventions, like the mixture of clean and screaming vocals; breakdowns in the music that have more melody than usual Metalcore bands; and also the way in which they use the mixture of male and female members of the band for their success by expanding the Metalcore genre to a wider audience.

Who is their target audience?
Their target audience is mainly a Metal fan who listens to other Metalcore bands (Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The horizon, Etc.) who is from the mid-teens upwards, so like 15 years and older.

Why does this artist appeal to their target audience?
This band appeals to their target audience by using a mixture of male and female members, so that they can attract a variety of people. They also appeal to their target audience by their music style because it is usually part of the more melodic side of Metalcore.
