down on a piece of paper like a
brainstorm And then we took pictures.

make sure that we found an empty room.

that represent the genre
and cut them out and
made a little comic video.

indie rock bands and then found some YouTube links about
it, also decided to go on the clothing website like H&M to
find out what our band members should wear.
• The H&M website was particularly useful as they have a
feature on the website that allows you to dress up models in
the clothing you choose. This was useful in planning
costumes as it allowed us to plan the costume in detail and
also we gained a real understanding of what indie style is.
