We chose the Rock genre as it is
generalised as homemade and do it yourself. As we didn’t have large budget for
the video, we believed this would be easier to achieve and look better. The
genre is also associated with young new groups so as majority of our cast would
be 17/18 this would make a more realistic video that stays true to the genre.
