BLACK AND WHITE
When looking at the Indie Rock genre, most music video's seem to be placed partly or entirely in black and white. So, why is this? Some argue that it is to enhance the atmosphere and reflect on the mood that is generated from the artist or the narrative. In my opinion black and white music videos do give the proffesionalism and conventions of an indie music video and this could be an idea for our overall video. I have looked into depth at videos that use the colour contrast.
One video that we have gained much inspiration from is A team by Ed Sheeran, the narrative is about a woman prositute begging on the streets of London and her day to day routine showing despair, struggles and lonliness. Similar atributes to the ideas put forth in our project. However there is no performance based scenes in this video which is a main priority for us, furthermore the pace of the music is quite slow and acoustic like whereas we intend ours on being fast full of energy.
Another video that has caught our attention is Example- Changed the way you kissed me. This is however set in a club scene with the live band, which would be unrealistic for us due to the many restrictions however we can still gain inspiration from this.
