Something good can work is the first single by the Irish rock band “Two Door Cinema Club”
Indie pop is a music genre and subculture that combines guitar pop with DIY ethic in
opposition to the style and tone of mainstream pop music. It originated from
British post-punk in the late 1970s and subsequently generated a
thriving fanzine, label, and club and gig circuit. Compared to its counterpart, indie
rock, the genre is more melodic and less abrasive.

4. ARE YOU GOING TO BE CONVENTIONAL OR
UNCONVENTIONAL?
• For our music video, our plan is to be conventional to the genre of the music. We
are planning to use drum and vocals within our music video, which I believe
would be very suitable for the song and the content we are going to produce.
• I personally think it wouldn’t be suitable for the music video if we were to choose
the unconventional choice because without using instruments or travelling to
certain locations, the song and the clips wouldn’t flow well together and the
audiences wouldn’t feel natural watching the music video.
