Chosen Genre Deconstruction 4 - Indie

Deconstruction of an Indie Music Video




This first screen shot immediately tells the audience it is likely that it is an indie band, this shot connotes that we should look past the lead singer sometimes and appreciate all of the band members. The convention of them using instruments throughout the video is apparent here, the clothing and hair is also very conventional with the scruffy but cool look. The lighting is again dark background with an illuminating warm light on the singers.



Throughout the video there are montages of them out and doing normal things which lets the audience see them for real and normal people as well as someone they admire, those shots and this shot of them in the studio allows the audience to feel closer to the band in a different way, its as if the band are inviting them to become a part of their lives, which makes them more appealing but also more intriguing, throughout again, the lighting stays dark in the background and illuminates the band members, ensuring the focus stays on them.
