THEMES AND CONTEXT

Skid Row is a Hair Metal band who produced their best work in the late 80s/ early 90s. We have been researching a variety of their music videos, as well as ones by assosiated artists of the Hair Metal genre: Guns N Roses, W.A.S.P, Aerosmith, Motley Crue and more... We have noticed that band shots play a big roll in these videos, and have therefore decided that in order to reach our target audience it would be wise to place an emphasis on band shots in our video. These band shots will be combined with a storyline/narrative that could focus on and explore the following themes that we have identified within the lyrics of the song: isolation, youth culture, crime, agression and corruption .
