Band Name

 So Millie and I have come up with band name 'Bacci and Filter'. Not only because the lyrics are from the actual song but we believe the whole brand and genre are suited with the name.

This is a screen shot of Frank Ocean's video for 'Novocane'.
The song is simply about him numbing pain, 
and his use of smoke allows his audience to feel 
they can relate to him through 'numbing'
the pain.


  

 As our genre is the hip-hop/pop mix it suits and is quite a quirky name. The reference of cigarettes is used in a strange 'cool' way in today's music. The majority of our target audience use smoking to lose themselves and feel good in some way, which is also what we hope our artist will bring to our audience but obviously just by our music.  

On the other hand we used this as you always need the bacci with the filter. For this song to work, you need the rapper and the singer, as well as the serious and the humorous which we both have. It all fits together for a nice modern band name.

This is a screen shot of Snoop-Dogg's album 
cover. Here the smoke from his mouth is
clearly the main focus of the advert.
To promote himself to look 'cool' to his 
audience. Throughout his video's he 
uses a male gaze and lyrics of explicit nature
to also appeal to his audience, whereas we 
are using smoking without trying to create 
it in an explicit nature.

Here Arctic Monkey's; an English successful
 band use smoking on their front cover.
This is used all for image which also proves how
 smoking is quite a focus on the youths of today.

   

All three artists are using smoking 

to appeal to the same audience 

that are hoping to attract. Through 

using the idea of smoking, we're

 conforming to other artist's, as 

we're all competing for the same

audience to buy in to our brand.

Both Snoop Dogg and Arctic

Monkeys use a stage name rather

than their real name, to again create

a 'cool' image to their target audience

in which we have done to

promote ourselves.
