Researching the Conventions of Homepages and Videos

In order to further our research into music videos, we have been assigned the task of researching similar bands to 'Weezer' and examining the conventions of the music genre, however, I was nominated by Jason to research a band who belonged to completely different genre of music.
After looking through some of my music I found a singer songwriter from the 90s called 'Cat Power', and decided to research her work and compare it to the rock genre.


As is shown from the website homepage, the indie songwriter genre is much warmer, and less aggressive than the rock genre that we have settled with, the use of a light blue connotes innocence and calm, while the font does not stand out, yet stays sharp to attract attention of viewers.

Comparing this to rock band that Joel studied, going by the name of 'Jimmy Eat World', various differences are the sharpness of the font, the atmosphere of the website, as well as the portrayal of the band.
This homepage focuses more on a darker color scheme, as well as more band related photos and news, I feel that our website would be more likely to end up looking like this, as it corresponds more with the particular genres that we are trying to encompass within our bands ideologies and star image.
