Oasis Artist Analysis

Image result for oasisThroughout the duration of Oasis’ activity within the music industry many branding strategies were used in order to appeal and relate to the target audience, ultimately contributing to the success of the band. When constructing the branding and image of Oasis many factors were to be taken into consideration to create an impact to engage with the target audience. These factors would include the way in which the bands core values were reflected in the name of the band, the logo and promotional photographs.

They also created a new image to Britpop, such as the 'bad-boy' and very serious front. Their new contrast to the the strereotypical Britpop view helped them to become one of the greatest bands in both the UK and rest of the world.

 The core values in which Oasis identified themselves with from the beginning of their career would be the ‘Britpop’ culture, insuring they were writing, singing and performing songs that any stereo-typical Englishman could relate to, staying positive and implying that you can have a good and care-free time in any situation. As well as remaining relatable to their consumer, another vital factor of their core values and ‘Britpop’ culture would include references toward records and bands that were seen of the canon of their era, the Beatles for example.

Target Audience Identification

Image
The target audience of Britpop is highly varied from people in their teenage years 16- early 20's and then people who were born during the birth of Britpop music (35-45 year old). Britpop music is such a highly varied age group that it is hard to identify as there has been a revival of the music during the last decade where many people have started to listen to it again. This is mainly due to The Stone Roses tour and also Liam Gallagher's new tour and album, with more music coming from Noel Gallagher in the foreseeable future.

Full Analysis of Wonderwall music video

There is an interesting use of a vinyl record player th...

Editing Feedback- session 5

Image
The feedback that we gathered from session 4 we changed due to not agreeing  on it as a group to help benefit us in the long term. This target however will be prioritised in further  sessions as we will include more shots of the band members on their own but also together as a group. The reason for this prioritisation was so that we could concentrate on the smaller aspects such as this in the last session where we make the smaller changes. Moreover, the improvements which we still need to make are to sort the shots to make them shorter and closer together. We are doing this to create flash shots but also there is many shots which display a black screen in between each other which we need to change so the shots flow smoothly and make it more professional.
