The Killers

We have chosen to produce a music video for 'Mr Brightside' by The Killers for our final music video.
The band have previously belonged to Vertigo Records, Marrakesh Records and most recently the worldwide record label Island Records, Being publicised by three major record companies could have contributed to their success and is bound to give them more success than belonging to one independent label.
The name of their last album was released in 2008 titled 'Day & Age' and the next album is due to be released late 2012.
In many ways The Killers have been designed to have mass appeal which is mostly down to their worldwide record label. Before they were signed to Island Records they belonged to an independent record label and were only known in Las Vegas where the band was originally formed. The release of a compilation album and a DVD of a live show at The Royal Albert Hall could also have helped to make the band more famous.

Above is the music video to Mr Brightside which we have been thinking about producing a music video for.
Below is a montage of images of The Killers

Looking at the images the band look like they are in their early to mid 20s. The most good looking man from the band is bigger than the rest if the band members in the larger picture which could be because he is the lead singer or it could be because this may make the band appeal to girls. the images represent them as dominant males because they are usually long shots of them standing side by side dressed similarly.
