Research Carried Out




After watching all the music videos above which are by a number of different artists, I have learnt that there are a couple of ways in which we can present our indie band in a music video. The first and most popular way is by having the band star in the music video. This is a very common method that most indie bands use. Normally it present the band singing a song but in a very different scenario from what they would normally perform in, for example the video for Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs has them performing the song as a miniature city is built up around them. Most of the time the music videos for indie bands don't really have any meaning they are just ways that the band can show themselves and also raise awareness of the song

I also noticed a lot about the image of indie bands while watching the videos, most of the bands have a similar style but some do differentiate from this style. For example the style of most indie bands is quite rugged and as if they don't really care about their image to much. However certain bands do have a different style, for example Two Door Cinema Club have quite a hipster/indie style of dress sense which is different from most indie bands currently on the market, this means that they are unique and have something that separates them from the other bands.
