Initial Ideas - Indie Music Video

Initial Ideas - Indie Music Video

1. Setting

   • Nature
     • Forests
     • Water
     • Sky
     • Flowers
   • Run-down Areas
     • Broken things
     • Dark colours
     • Danger
     • No nature
   • Teenage Places
     • Skate Parks
     • Music Stores
     • Clothing Stores
     • Bedroom
     • School

2. Characters

   • Female
     • Age of target audience
     • Typical Female Indie Look
     • Indie Personality
   • Male
     • Age of target audience
       • Typical male Indie Look
         • Indie Personality
   • These both could be similar to show that indie music connects people who are similar, however, it may also be effective to have them be different - as indie is a wide genre for someone to fit into

3. Props

   • We want to use very typical props, as we feel the indie audience will be able to relate to this better
     • Guitars
       • Acoustic or electric
     • Vinyls
     • Alcohol
     • Smoking
     • Cameras
     • Phones
     • Music
     • Personal Possessions

4. Clothing

   • Female
     • Due to postmoderism, we wanted to include an element from another genre- which we are thinking 70s or 80s
     • Dress, adds a sense of feminism too whilst being popular in those eras
     • Signature piece
       • Jewellery
       • Object of meaning

5. Performance

   • Very indie personality, specifically from an era
     • Free
     • Calm
     • Happy
     • However, like Lewis Watson and Kodaline's music videos, we could do the opposite
       • Angry
       • Physical violence
       • Revengeful

6. Narrative

   • Indie music tend to be very deep with a serious or personal message behind
     • Therefore, instead of doing a music video with editing on the beat or other conventions - which are highly seen in pop, we decided to create a narrative that may be personal to people
       • Death
     • So, by having lyrics that are generally deep, we can keep with this theme during production
     • Loss of another
     • Exaggerated Emotions
     • Harm

7. Camera Work

   • Variety of shots
   • Equal amount of long shots and close up shots
   • Close ups add detail, which will help us include post modernism and strength into the story line
   • Long shots allow us to establish a theme and highlight the genre of indie
