Bloc party


Bloc party are the band that sing our song "Flux". This is how our actor is going to look. As in similar clothing, personality and hair style through out the music video.
Bloc Party are a British Indie band. Their brand of music is said to have been drawn from such bands as Mogwi, The Cure, Joy Division, Sonic Youth and in their more recent work, Radiohead.
The band was formed at the 1999 at Reading Festivalby Okereke and Lissack.

The band was formed in 1999 but just recently in 2011 Kele Okereke thought he had been kicked out of Bloc Party. Almost six months after the band announced they would reunite for a new album, their singer issued the bizarre claim that Bloc Party are recording without him.


About Flux
Kele Okereke told the New Musical Express October 20, 2007: "It's about trying to recognize that a moment has passed between people. It canapply to personal and professional relationships. It's the hardest thing recognizing that something that was there isn't any more."
This is exactly what we are trying to portray in our music video. As Kele Okereke the leader of the band said it is about recognizing something that was there isn't any more. In out music video we are including a stalker. This is one way we show this quote, the stalker finds it hard to realise that her relationship is over and becomes obsessed, making our actor feel paranoid and vulnerable. We also added a different way of portraying this quote, we wanted to add a sense of illusion by making the actor feel that he is seeing things. One minute he sees the stalker and the next she is gone. This is another different way of showing "something that was there isn't anymore"

Here is the track cover of "Flux", although it is a cover that does not consist of the band on the front it still shows parts of the song and sums up the song really well. It has the name of the band and the name of the song up in the top left corner, the heading is in white writing on a black background. This allows the text to stand out no matter what font or size it is because of the colour contrast. Underneath this there is a picture of a building with all the lights on and lights outside of the building on. This has been put onto the black background too. I feel this has been done so that it shows what the song is about in a different way rather than having a heartbroken, vulnerable person on the front. It shows the stages of a hard time. How there can be dark times and light times standing for bad times and good times. It shows the contrast of how happy you can be when things are going right and how down you can be when they are not. It also shows in a different interesting way the difference between being scared confused and alone and being safe, comfortable and happy. They do this by the huge difference between the black background and the bright building.
