EVALUATION QUESTION 1 NOTES AND IDEAS: IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL MEDIA PRODUCTS?By Nazmin Jahan

Conventions of indie

music videos that

our music video uses

• Mise-en-scene:The costumes for our music videos do conform to the indie style that indie bands go for e.g. simple t-shirt and jeans look, as well as leather jackets.Also the props used such as instruments are conforming to indie music videos such as The 1975’s videos and Catfish and the Bottlemen’s videos.• Camera:Many close ups of instruments being played to show the bands talents like many indie bands do. Long shots of the artists to show costumes.• Editing:Use of black and white effect in our music video like many other indie artists such as, The Neighbourhood and Arctic Monkeys.Many slow motion effects and an increase in the pace of our music video conforms to other music videos like ‘The City’ by The 1975.

Conventions of indie

music videos that

our music video

challenges/ develops

• Mise-en-scene:Mask, bandanas and wings are not normally used in indie music videos. Although there are some videos which do not conform to the conventions of indie music videos like The 1975 who wear bandanas in their music video ‘Robbers’.• Camera:There are no extreme close ups of the singer singing the song like many indie music videos have.• Editing:Many indie music videos are simple, just a few slow motions, however with our music videos we have added an overlay of another video on top of the band playing. Whereas The 1975 have used an overlay in their music video, we were inspired by their idea of the overlay, thus why we have a video of the time lapse filmed in Euston on top of the band.
