Britpop Moodboard - Genre

Costumes/Trends
By putting this moodboard together, it has allowed me to gain knowledge of what the performance bands look like and what costumes they wear. As you can see in the black and white picture of Oasis, you can see that Liam Gallagher is wearing a Parka coat. This connotes to the audience that they originate from a lower class background, as you would associate people wearing parka coats in 90's as lower class. Furthermore, as you look at the picture of Oasis, you can see that there's a common trend of hairstyles (long hair). This trend went viral because anything associated with Oasis was deemed as cool. Therefore, audiences copied these trends to make them feel apart of Oasis.

Font/Colours As you look at the Stone Roses poster. You can see that they use an established font, which suggests how original the band is. Also this is one convention of the Britpop genre. By including the Union Jack behind the moodboard, it suggests where Britpop was originated from. In many successful Britpop music videos, for example the guitars in their music videos are the colours of the union Jack. Therefore, when performing the music video we'll replicate this by including a guitar with union jack stickers on  it. Furthermore, you can see that the main background colours used in the picture of Oasis is Black and White. This suggests that Oasis try create an original old theme to their music videos. 

Symbolic codes/Semantic codes
By looking at the picture of all the band members from Oasis, they create symbolic codes to the audience. For example, Liam Gallagher is standing with his shoulders back and his head up. This portrays to the audience that the band has come from a lower class/middle class background as he's standing like he's part of a gang. Furthermore, by looking at this moodboard, I realised that they've included a variety of semantic codes. For example, the use of the colours black and white in the picture of Oasis establishes them as having a lower class upbringing. Also the light employed on Oasis is low key lighting, which establishes them as a group as important. This is because the lighting is focused on the band and nothing else in the background.
