Indie music originally referred to music created independently from major record labels in the 1950s. It allowed artists to create and distribute their own music without interference. Over time, indie evolved from just meaning independent to becoming a genre in its own right, like indie rock and indie pop. Indie rock emerged in the 1980s in the UK and tends to have an angsty, guitar-driven sound. Indie pop also originated in the UK and lacks angst, being more melodic in style.

Indie (Independent) music refers to bands and musicians that are not signed to major labels and take a more independent approach to recording. In the 1950s-1960s, major record labels had so much power that independent labels struggled to emerge. Now, indie music is a widely recognized genre even though some indie bands are signed to major labels based more on their musical sound than production approach. The internet has allowed previously unknown indie artists to achieve mainstream success through sites like MySpace and programs like iTunes.

Indie pop originated in the UK in the 1980s, tracing its roots to Scottish post-punk bands on independent labels like Postcard Records and The Smiths. It was inspired by punk's DIY ethic and generated an active independent music scene. Key to the development of indie pop was the 1986 C86 compilation tape, which featured bands like The Pastels and helped establish the genre's conventions of jangly guitars and melodic power pop structures. Indie pop continues to have a strong following worldwide and inspire new musicians across independent labels, clubs, and festivals devoted to the sound.
Label
Sony Music was founded in 1887 and has become widely successful in recruiting and promoting artists across a range of genres. Some popular Sony artists include Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey. Sony uses social media platforms and high quality audio equipment to connect with audiences.

During the research stage, they relied on online tools like YouTube and Google to study conventions in music videos, digipaks, and magazine ads. Hardware like a Sony camcorder and Canon DSLR were used to film footage for the music video during production. Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop were the primary software for editing the video and creating the digipak and ad during post-production. The completed project was published online using Blogger and SlideShare.
In what ways does your media product use
This document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real indie pop music products. It analyzes the conventions found in digipaks, magazine ads, and music videos of indie pop artists like Lana Del Rey and Florence and the Machine. For the digipak, conventions like color schemes, positioning of the artist, and inclusion of synced images from the music video were developed. The magazine ad follows conventions of font styles and positioning of text. The music video develops conventions of conceptual themes, grayscale color schemes, inclusion of the artist, and conservative costumes to establish the indie pop genre.
Editing record
The document discusses various video editing techniques used to maintain an eerie tone for a music video. These include:
1) Overlapping footage and reducing opacity to create a "jittery" transition effect between scenes.
2) Muting all audio tracks except the song track to ensure only the music was heard.
3) Using the "Leave Color" effect to focus shots on a single color while making other areas grayscale, maintaining an eerie tone.
4) Applying fast blur to blur characters/landscapes and somewhat hide them, furthering the eerie tone.
5) Using fast color correction to give clips a colder, blue tint when the artist was lip syncing

R&b music
R&B music originated in the 1940s as a term to describe popular African American urban music known previously as "race music." R&B was coined to mean "rhythm and blues" and was sourced in the USA, becoming a recognizable genre that developed from the 1940s to today. Though still dominated by black artists, contemporary R&B utilizes a mixture of electric blues, gospel, and soul styles to create a distinctive sound different from original R&B. Popular contemporary R&B artists include Stevie Wonder, Rhianna, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Drake, and Mariah Carey.
Pop music
Pop music began as a term used in the 1950s-1960s to describe popular music groups like The Rolling Stones that appealed widely to national and global audiences, rather than referring to a unique genre. Originally, pop music contrasted with art music which drew from classical traditions and narrower audiences. Over time from the 1960s onward, pop evolved into its own genre inspired by popular culture and other genres like soul and rock, prevalent in Britain and the US with icons like Michael Jackson and Madonna achieving widespread acclaim.

Indie music
- 1. Indie Music
- 2. Independent Music At its formation during the 1950s ‘indie music’ was used to deem music which had been created independently from a large music producer rather than a genre. The term was to give voice and representation to those artists that chose to separate themselves from large music companies, and gave them a unique brand by which to sell their music. The idea was to essentially be able to create music or other forms of media without interference from big budget companies such as Sony, and therefore allowing artists to ‘immortalise’ their music, etc. to their own standards.
- 3. Record Labels for Early ‘Independent’ Music: • Sun Records • King Records • Stax • Herald Records • Ember Records
- 4. Indie Music Genre ‘Indie music’ has since developed from its early 1950s interpretation of ‘independent’ music. The term ‘indie’ is now used more broadly, describing genre rather than an artist’s distance from a big producer. The indie genre in its different forms (indie rock, indie pop, etc.) is used to determine music with a particular sound, unique to different artists who create rock, pop, etc. Indie Rock: • Emerged in the 1980’s • Originated in the UK • Instruments: guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, vocals • Musicians: Amber Smith, Bad Books, Power Pirate, Young Knives, etc. • Music tends to hold a heavy beat and angst Indie Pop: • Emerged mid 1980s • Originated in UK • Musicians: Josef K, The Smiths, Orange Juice, etc. • Lacks angst and is very melodic
