2. The scientist
This music has a narrative and this is a convention of indie
music videos. In this video that narrative fit the song as it is
sad.
There is also some relationship between the music and the
visuals. This is another convention of indie music videos.
Although video follows a narrative the video allows the audience
in interpret it for themselves. This is the same for the song.
Unlike pop music where the song simply has lyrics that have no
underlying meaning indie leaves the song meaning open for
debate.
The video is also performance based as the lead singer lip syncs
throughout most the video.
3. Camera
The main camera shots in this video are close up and and
eye level shots. These help the audience connect with the
narrative as close up’s to the face help reflect the feeling
of the video
The video also includes some pan shots to help set the
scene and show of the landscape of the video.
4. Editing
All of this music video is in reverse. This makes the video
very unique. Indie music videos are often unique having
very creative editing and shots.
