SEASONS

2.  A popular convention in videos for indie rock/pop tracks tend
to feature a performance.
 These show the audience that the band are very passionate
and enjoy what they do.
 While the performance is taking place, there are close ups
and over the shoulder shots that show each band member
which shows the unity of the group and how they all equally
enjoy what they do.
PERFOMANCE

3.  The whole video is in black and white which is a typical effect
used in indie rock/pop videos.
 A blurred effect is also used in the video to help create a
sense of drunkenness and good times.
 A slow motion effect is also used to emphasise the happiness
the people in the video are experiencing and therefore
emphasises how much the band enjoy they’re music also.

video by the use of guitars, microphones etc.

professionalism of the group.

in the centre of the group highlighting that he is the front
man.
