How the planned music video fits in with research

Earlier on i did a post about the codes and conventions of a typical Indie music video. This post is to compare how out planning of the music video actually fits in with the codes and conventions.

  •   Shows artist or band throughout the video - YES
  • Some special effects – often quite arty and creative so the video is more symbolic to its lyrics - YES a little
  • Calm setting- YES the park scene
  • Sometimes black and white/grey scale or very bright depending on the tempo - YES calm colours with black backgrounds used
  •  Has a narrative which is  always simple - YES 
  •  Use of close ups - YES
  •  Performance of the artist or band itself as it shows them to be different and talented - YES
  •  High usage of crane shots but there is a variety of different shots also - YES
  •  Dark and mystic locations  garages, warehouses and streets etc. - YES a gloomy park
  •  Instruments are shown - YES a guitar 
  • The actors or artists will wear dark casual clothes – skinny jeans, t-shirts, denim with longish hair - YES
  • Has longer shots than rock music so the editing is not as fast paced - YES
  • A lot of use of lighting – dark lit or dim or just focusing on the band or artist - YES
