Genre

The genre of the band we've chosen is 'indie-pop'. Their use of steady beats and electronic\pop-style sounds put them in this genre.

A typical music video in this genre would usually consist of random, irrelevant shots, e.g an abandoned warehouse, the sky, wires etc. They would include the singer/band members in the video, but they wouldn't be the main feature, being shown only a few times. 

Iconogprahy that is often used in indie-pop videos is the black and white effect. This adds a sophistication/calm to the video. 

Typically, our chosen genre's music videos will use a narrative. Often using a relationship, be it friends or a couple. We too are going to follow in this convention by using a narrative following a couple.
