Mis’en’scene
This plays a large part in the indie style kind of music, this is because the artists have an unusual kind of behavior and look which is created through sets they use and their appearance.This music promo is a performance based as it demonstrates the artists actually playing their instruments throughout which gives an indie style to the video. I will take these certain aspects and apply them within my indie music video. 

As the video takes a performance based structure, the sound of the video is the backing track of the song however the sound is perceived as diegetic as the characters in the video tend to be performing to the camera as if they were in concert. 

1.28 A zoom out of the artists with their feet in a swimming pool as one of them falls in with their guitar, it then transitions into a zoomed out shot of them sat on a balcony all with their guitars, this signifies the theme of indie pop bands are traditionally lively and reckless encouraging the audience to have fun.

Camera

I identified a number or common aspects in the indie themed promo. For example at 00.10-00.15 seconds the use of the zooming in camera shot of the artist is commonly used for its advertising and marketing purposes, it also is an establishing shot showing the location.

Editing

As well as this I noticed the editing of the shot adopted a much washed out tone, the rawness of it perceived it to be unpolished creating an indie vibe. The conventional editing of the song has been done to the timing of the music and jump cuts have been made to keep up with the pace of the music.

The location of my music video After doing research and watching several indie music video's, it is evident that most of the shots happen in towns, city's, open waters such as lakes of the beach and roof tops. Therefore as an advantage to living near several lakes and two close towns this is where the majority of my filming will take place. I would like several of my shots to take place at sunset as it adds natural vibrant colours to the shot and sets a peaceful mood for the audience.  In the Kook's music promo 'she moves in her own way' it demonstrates the artists being reckless and finding locations such as abandoned buildings and roof tops. As most indie music promo's are performance based, the main element in the video will be the main character performing the music on stage.

Deconstruction of Indie music magazine Front cover The colour of the front cover is very bold and striking, what catches the audience’s eye first is the concentration of yellow at the top of the cover as well as the bold title spelling out the artist’s name connoting the idea of joy and happiness, however the other colour which stands out is the colour red which conflicts with the colour yellow as it connotes danger and power. This could represent the behaviour of the artists demonstrating a rebellious attitude however bringing happiness to their audience with their music.  As we can see the title of the band is in bold yellow writing in the centre of the page to so it is easily noticeable as well as stands out, this is also good selling point for other indie bands as the magazine advertises the artists on the front cover as well as other similar artists.   However the previous front cover is a more modernised version of an Indie music magazine, it still presents t

Lyric analysis Tell me the truth now Are you looking for fame or just playing the game Like it’s cool now Cause they’ll trip you up and then laugh as you fall on the way down My interpretation on these lyrics is that the singer is angry at the audience, at the way success is achieved. 'cause they'll trip you up' This shows that he could perhaps be talking about music producers or even audience members.  Even the title of the song suggests that they are talking about the failure of there career, telling a tale of feeling lost in themselves. Is that you're worth the time when the money ain’t mine Feel a fool now Feel a fool now The repetition of the line 'feel a fool now' emphasizes the shame the artist is putting on the audience,  I really wanna know if there’s somewhere else I should go And if the journey’s looking rough and you know It’s gonna leave you frozen Cause I’ve tried a million times to make it work And after all this time I’m no
