Poster Research
Looking
into the tour and magazine posters of Hozier, there are several distinctive
qualities that link to the qualities of indie rock.
Mise
En Scene
Indie
rock artists are stereotypically pictured wearing casual clothing and Hozier
fits the criteria in the various posters. In this image, he is wearing a plain
white t-shirt and a denim jacket this is considered causal clothing.
This
shows us that in order to look the part in the music video and for the tour
poster we have to create, we will have to wear similar clothing in order to fit
the correct mise en scene.
Layout
The style of the font used for his name (Hozier) is unique in this
poster. The font is unique as it is very imposing on the page as the bright
yellow contrasts with the black and white imagery, which is directly relatable
to the music video ‘Take me to church’ as the video is shot in black and white.
The
tour poster is relatable to the genre of indie rock as there is a good balance
between text and the image of the artist on the poster.
Props
The
props used in this tour poster are relatable to the indie rock genre. Most of
the artists like to be photographed with their instruments, as Hozier is here
with his guitar.
From
the microphone you can see that this image was taking whilst he was performing
which is another recurring motif in the genre of indie rock (most artists who
belong to the indie rock genre are photographed whilst performing).
