Some key conventions discussed include the use of narrative to convey the emotion behind lyrics rather than for self-promotion, close-ups of the artist to create intimacy, and footage of the full band playing to emphasize the music. The media product challenges conventions by adding its own creative flair while maintaining traditions like focusing on the band through shots of them performing.
The document discusses how the media product, a music video for an indie rock band, uses conventions from the genre to engage the intended audience. It begins with typical shots like a close-up of the lead singer used in many band videos. Location shots show the full band playing together and extreme close-ups highlight musical performances, mirroring techniques from bands like The Strokes and The Crookes. Outfits in the video also follow the indie rock convention of everyday casual clothing. The album packaging and promotional poster further develop recognizable images from the genre to effectively promote the band and their music.
This document summarizes the conventions used in rock and indie music videos. It discusses how the student's music video incorporates many of these conventions, including close-ups of band members, shots showing the whole band performing, casual clothing, dim lighting that creates shadows, and a plain background setting. It also discusses how the student applied similar conventions to the design of their digipak and magazine advertisement for consistency across the media products.
There are some common conventions seen in many indie music videos. Typically, the videos will feature a performance by the band, as indie artists want to focus on the music rather than elaborate narratives. They also want to stay true to their DIY ethos and avoid the conventions of mainstream music videos. The production values of indie videos are often minimalistic due to smaller budgets. Mise-en-scene elements like costumes, lighting, and props are also usually quite minimalistic and reflect the everyday styles and emotions conveyed by the indie music. Cinematography and editing techniques in indie videos commonly involve shots of the band performing and are edited to match the tempo of the song.
The document analyzes the music video for the song "Fossils" by the indie band Circa Waves. It identifies several conventions of indie music videos, including the use of tour footage to show artists living their lives, short clips in different locations to correspond with lyrics about being far from home, and performance elements to appeal to fans who enjoy live shows. The video for "Fossils" incorporates these elements to connect with audiences and establish itself as an effective indie music video.
The document discusses the author's research process for their music video project on the indie rock genre. They analyzed three music videos - by Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, and Kaiser Chiefs - to understand conventions of editing, mise-en-scene, camerawork and sound. This allowed the author to familiarize themselves with common genre elements to incorporate into their own music video. They felt extended, in-depth research was important to create a high quality final product that featured both conventions and original ideas.
This document discusses how the media product uses and develops conventions of real music videos. It analyzes the media forms, camera shots, editing techniques, lighting, costumes, performances, digipak design, and website design used in the media product and compares them to conventions in other music videos. Specifically, it examines the use of close-up and long shots of band members, editing to the beat of the song, contrasting lighting, dark costumes, performances facing the camera, simple black and white digipak design, and a basic band-focused website. The document demonstrates how the media product draws upon established conventions to portray the band and genre.
The video for the song "Ain't no Rest for the Wicked" by indie rock band Cage and the Elephant contains 147 separate shots. It has a disjointed and dizzying editing style, using an old film reel filter throughout. During the chorus when the tempo increases, the number of cuts also increases to amplify the music. The video follows a non-chronological narrative, flashing between scenes of the band in a crashed car and driving around getting into trouble. It jumps elliptically between situations to create a detached and rushed vibe, playing with conventions of the rock genre in a unique way for an indie band.
The document discusses conventions in media products and how the author's media product challenges or develops conventions. It focuses on a music video produced for an indie/rock band. The author discusses how they drew inspiration from other bands like The 1975 and their music videos. Elements of the music video like the sterile first set, recording studio scene, and lighting in the final set both conform to and challenge conventions. The author also discusses how their digital packaging, website design, merchandise, and branding develop conventions in the indie/rock genre.
The document discusses how a band's music video complies with and challenges conventions of the indie/rock genre. It summarizes the creative choices made in three sections of the video, including set design, lighting, camerawork, and editing, and how they were inspired by other bands like The 1975. It also discusses conventions followed in other aspects of branding like the website, merchandise, and touring information. Overall, the band strived to balance conforming to audience expectations while also innovating and subverting conventions through their artistic choices.
This document analyzes the music video for the Blink 182 song "All the Small Things" through textual analysis. The video mocks other music genres like pop through various locations, costumes, and visual conventions. It has no narrative and uses long shots, zooms, and slow editing to subvert expectations. The goal is humorous parody through non-conforming techniques rather than telling a story.
This document summarizes how a music video was created to conform to genre conventions while also trying to challenge some conventions. It discusses many design and filming choices that were inspired by other popular bands to appeal to their target audience. Shots of the attractive lead singer, lighting effects, industrial settings, and performance elements were used to conform to expectations, while also featuring a female bass player to challenge gender norms sometimes found in bands.
This document provides an analysis of design and content choices made for a music video, album packaging, and band website. It summarizes how each element conforms to conventions within the genre while also attempting some challenges or innovations. Specific examples are referenced from other popular bands to justify the design decisions. The overall goal was to effectively market the band and appeal to the target audience for the indie/alternative rock genre.
The document provides feedback on a music video and ancillary materials created for an indie band called Torrents. It summarizes that the video and prints effectively used conventions of the indie genre through natural lighting, stereotypical band imagery, and continuity across materials. Audience feedback indicated the genre was clear and most found the video exciting, though around half had trouble understanding the narrative on first viewing. The materials demonstrated an understanding of genre conventions and continuity in branding.
The document provides feedback on a music video and ancillary materials created for an indie band called Torrents. It summarizes that the video and other products effectively used conventions of the indie genre through aspects like natural lighting, stereotypical band clothing and hairstyles, and filming in working class locations. Audience feedback indicated that most people found the video exciting and genre was clear, though around half had trouble understanding the narrative on first viewing. The combination of video and printed materials like the album cover created continuity and a clear band identity.
This document analyzes how a media product for an indie rock band uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real indie rock products. Specifically, it examines the band's music video, digipak, and website compared to those of similar bands. While some conventions are followed, such as camera shots and fonts, conventions are also challenged, like the extensive use of the color red throughout the music video and combining band members' faces on the digipak cover, which creates a sense of mystery not seen elsewhere in the genre. The document provides examples to support how the media product borrows from, improves on, and innovates beyond typical conventions.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. What you expect to see in a music video:
Audience expectations from music videos are key elements that are the conventions of creating a
good music video. It is important to know and fit the target audience expectations so they can
automatically recognize the genre of music. This is why each genre of music has their own specific
style.
Different genres of music will have different conventions:
Main conventions a

4. Narrative/Performance
Indie Expectations
We have chosen to create and performance and Narrative music video. The band we are recording, is a indie
based music video. Most expectations you see in an indie music video is a performance type of video. However we
want to adapt this, and also embed a narrative suggestion. This is because we think it will be a lot more interesting
to watch. Also we can create a narrative based on the lyrics of the song- which will be challenging.
These are all the things that must be in concluded to create a successful video.

5. “The Turning‟s” Interests and Inspirations
The Turning has lots of inspirations, but the main ones they look up to are..:
The Beatles:
The Beatles are the Turnings biggest inspiration, as they are also a 4 piece English
indie rock band who are the most successful band worldwide.
The Rolling Stones:
Another English rock band formed in London 1962.
Jake Bugg:
Jake Bugg is a British Indie/Rock and Indie/Folk musician, singer and songwriter. In
most of his videos he is usually performing. This is so the artist is the main attraction
and wants his fans to just see him. Jake Bugg first released his album in 2012- Two
Fingers.
The Arctic Monkeys:
The arctic monkeys are an English indie rock band formed in the 2002. the band
consists of 4 members; Alex Turner (Lead Vocals), Jamie Cook (Lead Guitar), Nick
O‟Malley (Bass) and Matt Helders (Drums).
They have released 3 albums which have all been successful. Also winning 3 Brit
awards.
The Who:
The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964. For much of their career they
have been regards as one of the most important British rock acts. Along with The
Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
The Strokes:
Another American indie rock band formed in New York City in 1998.
6. For research I looked into various indie band music videos to see what elements they all have in common. One well
known indie band that I found was Mumford & Sons. This group mainly only involves performance. I've gathered
screen shots of the shots they use to record performance. This ranges from extreme close up shots to extreme long
shots. I picked three of Mumford & Sons songs and collected images from each one.
These two shots are from their song “Hopeless Wander”. This video is
filmed outside which allows their to have more interesting various angled
shots. The shots in this music video are mainly close ups of the
instruments. The instruments are also used for easy transitions of the band
performing.
The song “I Will Wait” is more relevant to our music video because its
inside and it‟s a dark backstage where the band are going to perform.
We will most likely be using some similar angles of the shots Mumford &
Sons have used in this video. The long shot of the whole band performing
is good to use in a music video because it shows the audience the band
as a whole.
Indie Band Research
7. Indie Rock
This genre of music is mainly just about the band performing.
The main singer in the band “The Stroke's” connects to the
audience by looking straight at the camera. This gives an
empowering look as it looks like he is telling the narrative to the
audience. We tried to have a similar impact by when the singer
in The Turning looks straight at the camera. I've seen in my
research that a lot of Indie/Rock bands use this technique
because it can have a great impact of aggression. Which is
why Indie/Rock bands don‟t use the narrative in their music
videos.
Another reason why Indie/Rock bands look straight down at the
camera is to show intimidation to the audience. Gives an effect
of a superior look towards the band. And as rock is meant to
look „hard core‟ this defiantly represents that.
Indie Folk
Indie Folk music videos are usually based again on performance
but sometimes bases their music videos on concept. One band
in particular is “Modest Mouse”. This band involves random
things in their video and doesn‟t have a specific meaning.
Indie Pop
The band “The XX” is a indie pop genre band. In their videos
they tend to focus on performance and concept music videos.
One video in particular which presents only concept is the song
“Islands” this video is a repeated dance movement that 6
people are performing. In the middle of he dancers is the band
singing. However towards the end each person is disappearing.
This video doesn‟t have a narrative or a reason to do this.
Indie Genres
8. Born Ruffians “Needle”. The camera angle used in this shot is a medium close up of
the singer performing at a live concert. For a performance video, you would have
to continuously record the band playing to gather different angle shots and styles.
The Bravery “An Honest Mistake” is another indie/rock band. Their camera angles
are more diverse and they show different angles to present a mood of the genre.
They use low angles to create a mood of the band. This low angle shows that
they are superior from everyone else. In a rock band this is often the case, the
camera try's to give of an aggressive dark mood. So making the band have a
high status gives off this impression.
Indie Band Music Videos- Camera angles and shots
The Foals “My Number” this another Indie/Rock band , their music video contains a
live performance of them in front of hundreds of people. The video also shows what
people are doing during the performance. They would have used multiple cameras
in the audience so there would be various shots of them. This would have been
done by giving some of the audience members a chance to record themselves.
Jake Bugg “Broken” this video is of a casual setting of Jake preforming in a pub. This
video also has a slight narrative. This is about everyone in this video acting very
alone referring to the song name “Broken”
9.
10. Conclusion
In conclusion I've found out in this research that if we want to stick with the
indie band genre of how their music video is set out. We will have to use
various camera angles and shots. This is mainly used in indie bands
because of the performance based video. This is done for the audience
to see the band. In this research I've found that they don‟t use narrative or
concept and there main music video idea is performance.
This research has helped us deicide what sort of angles we are going to
use. Which are: Low angles, high angles, mid shots, long shots, extreme
close ups, worms eye view ect.
From this research we have more of an idea of how we are going to set
up the performance stage and costumes.
However in our production are going to add a performance part of the
video to make the video more exciting and so it fits with the lyrics of the
song.
11. This is a low angle shot of the
drummers foot tapping on the
ground. It is a similar shot from the
band “The Strokes” in their music
video “Reptilla”. This shot is good
because the audience can tell
that this is how the drummer keeps
in time with the music. Having
different types of close up shots of
the band playing instruments
makes the audience find the
music video more interesting,
This is a close up shot of the main
singer. This is effective because a lot
of indie bands show close ups of the
singer so its more personal to the
audience. The audience would
want to see this because one of the
main reasons why people watch
music videos is to see the artist
perform. And so they expect to see
the band individually performing.
Mumford and Sons
The Strokes
This is a medium shot of the guitarist
playing, I like this shot because there
is no distractions around. All the
audience can see is the instrument, I
think this makes the viewer more
connected to the video. This shot is
a popular shot which indie bands
use in their music videos.
Jake Bugg
Comparison between The Turning Shoot and other indie bands
12. Comparison between The Turning Shoot and other indie bands
This is a long shot of the whole
band standing in a line
performing. I like this shot because
its different and the viewers can
see the whole band at the same
level. Another similarity is that the
background isn't too complex.
The background is quite plain so
there is nothing distracting the
band.
The framing of these two shots are
very similar, due to the low angle of
the drummer playing. It‟s a clear shot
and having multiple shots, gives the
viewer a more interest in the video.
The XX
I really like this shot because
it‟s full body shot of the band
playing. I also really liked the
lighting in this shot as its quite
dim but however shows
everyone performing. The
framing of the band is similar
to the band on the right, in
terms of how there
positioning.
The Bravery
Mumford and Sons
13. Theories we have included
Richard Dyer:
Star Theory
The terms “pop performer” and “pop star” have become the same meaning over time. However in terms of
media, they are not the same thing. The study of stars as media texts/components of media texts demands that
the distinction be made between those who are simply known for performing pop music an those who are
known for being a pop stars who have identity or persona which is not restricted solely to their musicianship.
We can relate to this theory in our production. This is due to the performance side of the video, the band
member Louis. He has a low key attitude, and we think this comes off when he is performing in the video.
Andrew Goodwin:
This theory is based on moving images in time with the beat of the music.
At the beginning of our production, we used this clearly. When we see the first part of the footsteps. The music is
in time with the beat as the footsteps touch the ground. This worked really effectively as it kept everything in time
and made it a lot more efficient.
Levi Strauss:
Playing on the conceptthat narratives are arranged around the conflict of Binary Opposites. For example:
- Good vs Evil
- Boy vs Girl
- Peace vs War
-Young vs Old
- Man vs Nature
- Strong vs Weak
Our production can relate to this opposite conflicts, however we have chosen the concept of Dream vs Reality.
This related back to the song lyrics and name “Painful Art Of Dreaming” and so it shows a clear link. The song is
about an individual who bumps into a girl and dreams a perfect life with her, when actually the whole time he
realizes it‟s just a dream and not really reality.

16. High contrast of
black and white,
this affects the
audience because
we don‟t see their

In these 3 album covers of the Beatles, they
all share similar things; they hide their identity
by not showing a clear shot each of their
faces.
We only see half

18. I‟ve researched indie genre music bands Digipak/CD covers. Most
of them contains high contrast black and white photographs. I've
found out that a lot of bands hide their identity so it is not shown to
the audience. This gives the impression that indie bands main
important is the music itself and not the image they are portraying.
For my draft Digipak I have experimented with this convention and
have edited a black and white photograph as the CD cover. I've
found out in most bands they have black and white
photographsand so we want to stick with this theme.
The 1975
The Turning
The Strokes Two Door Cinema Club Artic Monkeys
This photograph is going to be the digipak‟s main cover. We chose this photo
because of the framing and the expressions their faces. I liked it because they're all
looking directly at the camera which gives a intimidating look addressing the
audience. Also the photo is not too serious. I‟ve edited this black and white and
changed the contrast of the photo.

20. It doesn‟t use any writing apart from
the artists name, this makes the album
look very simple yet eye catching as it‟s
a bold font being used.
His facial expression gives the
audience a clue about what
his personality is like. He
doesn‟t seem too bothered
which can relate to him as an
artist- he doesn‟t give too
much away.
The artist is not directly
looking into the camera,
this shows he is not giving a
direct address to anyone.
His facial expression may also link
to the songs in the album. Most of
this album is about him being a
young teenager drinking and
smoking.
The colour of this album has only used the
shade sepia, making it look different to other
coloured albums. This contrasts the artist as a
person, as he is a young performer and is using
an old sepia themed colour.
21. The track list is

corner of the top
left hand side.
This is not so bold,
as the singer

the cover.
The photo has been taken at a medium low
angle shot. This shows that he's a very dominate
character. he looks down onto the camera. This
shows that this album is mainly just about him
and could be more personal about his life.
The artist is wearing casual
normal clothing just like in his

more about his personality- that
he is normal and doesn‟t need

24. Razorlight
Razorlight are an English indie rock band formed in 2002. From my
research I have came across this band to see certain aspects that
they might have which we can include into our music video.
We can most relate to this band because they have certain
features that we have used for our products.
- Yellow features
- Black and White
Their music single “Golden Touch” links to our digipak as we have
also used a main dominate color- Yellow. We picked the color
yellow because this secondary color stands out the most and looks
better against the black and white.
We were inspired to create a similar color theme to this band
because we liked how their was a vibrant and dominate color
which makes it stand out a lot more. Especially for our digipak- this
was the main product that had to stand out. We have included
similar features of this indie band example, to help make our
digipak fit the indie band criteria.
25. Another main comparison to The Turning‟s digipak, is their main inspiration- The Beatles.
We tried to relate our digipak as much as we would to share a similarity of The Beatles cd covers. Picking
out The Beatles features, we tried to recreate a photo to match each album. All of the digipak‟s share
at least one recognizable similarity to our one.
We didn‟t want to
have a photograph
where the band look
too serious. We liked
the one where it was
natural and fun.
Although this Beatles
cover isn't a humorous
photo, I still think
they're not taking it
too seriously.
