Due to the fact that my song choice is indie, it means that making my video indie would maintain continuity between the products. However, I think that having a video with a strong narrative will contrast the indie style of the song therefore resulting in a highly dysfunctional products as well as an original one which will then enforce the indie genre.
I asked my audience what they thought of the indie genre and this is what they had to say:
Emily: "I prefer the indie genre because it feels much more real and relatable and it's not the generic stuff that you see every day on TV"
Beth: "A lot of the music I like is indie. I like it because it's different to what you hear on the radio and the TV all the time"
Alexandra: "I mainly listen to people like ED Sheeran and he isn't indie, but I do like some indie singers, I just don't listen to them all the time"
David: "I love what you'd call the 'indie' genre because I like having bands that I can call my own and that other people don't obsess over because when bands get big and famous like the Arctic Monkeys they change in a way that I don't like, they're too generic and they're not individuals anymore"
Peter: "I don't really listen to music much but when other people have music on I hate it when they play stuff that people listen to all the time. It gets really boring but I like listening to stuff I've not heard before that it's the kind of thing you hear constantly"
Thomas: "I never listen to the music in the charts, I like finding my own bands that are low profile because I feel like indie bands can interact with their fans way more. I like the music because it's new and exciting.
As you can see, it is clear that my audience is very interested in the indie genre and indie band for numerous reasons and not just because of how they sound of look. The main piece of feedback I noticed from this is that my audience likes the fact that indie bands aren't conventional, they are their own style and are a world apart from what is in the charts.
