Research On Chosen Artist/Band: Lostprophets

Lostprophets, originally a nu-metal band from Cardiff were founded by lead vocalist Ian Watkins in 1997, and released their debut album "The Fake Sound Of Progress," in 2001. As the band creates a fresh sound with every new album, the band appeals to many audiences; from the youthful generation to middle-aged adults. The band displays a number of different genres: from metal to post-hardcore and breakbeat. Lostprophets also won Best British Band at the Kerrang! awards in 2006.

I have chosen to create a music video to a Lostprophets song as they are very versatile as a band. Their music varies in style and pace, ultimately meaning they have a wide target audience. Furthermore, the band do a mix between emotional, powerful songs, to aggressive/rebellious as well as upbeat songs. This would allow me to be creative when it comes to the narrative and performance aspect of my music video.
