Conventions of Indie music video's

Conventions of indie music videos:
  • Tendency to be filmed in black and white
  • The artist is shown at various points throughout the video
  • Dark urban locations
  • Costume reflects song’s genre
  • Colour’s also reflect song’s genre
  • Can show the band performing at a gig
  • Cut between band shots and location shots.
  • Has a separate plot-line which unfolds
  • Close-ups of the band members performing.
  • Close-ups of their guitars and drums.
  • Dark lighting and colours, sometimes completly black and white
  • No vibrant colours.
Indie music is described as independent from major commercial record labels with a self approach of recording and publishing.
