Looking at different previous student music videos, I came across a video that was entertaining. However, I was looking for a different one that I saw previously but I could not find it online; I would not mind working with an indie song. I like this video because it meets the typical characteristics for a indie music video. The main thing I noticed is the use of instruments throughout the entire video. Also, in regards to costume, they had 3 different outfits. They were all casual, but they often changed at the same time as the location. For most of the shots used, the camera was still and showing a medium shot. Also, the lead singer tends to be shown more. On beat transition made the video follow the rhythm of the song.
The video does not necessarily have a narrative; it is mainly the band playing their guitar. We could say that the video supports Andrew Goodwin's idea of the video not having to have a narrative whatsoever. However, a good use of base tracking and lip sync is used throughout the video.
Only criticism I would have is that perhaps the character with short hair should not have attempted to pretend to play the guitar as it is clearly visible that he didn't know how to play it. This makes the video look very 'studenty'. Other than that, for an indie music video it is not a bad idea and I now have an idea of what to do and what not to do for my own music video.
Here we can see the type of casual clothing they wore and the different locations, as well as a close up of an instrument used.
