Summary of existing video research

What conventions of videos in the indie rock genre am I going to use during my video:


  • Pixilation (stop motion with humans as the subject)
  • Band members messing around- often during the instrumental
  • Shots of the city skyline
  • Lots of close-ups of the singers mouth, guitar strums, bass plucks and cymbal hits
  • Grainy filters
  • Black and white filter or desaturated colours
  • Mixture of performance element and narrative element
