Song Details...

The song chosen, ‘Blue Cassette’ by Friendly Fires has been selected as it follows the criteria of being a British artist, singing a British song, from the British artist’s album. Also the song decided upon does not have music videos already and so allows the group and myself to come up a new and original idea as we have no motive as there is no video. The reason for choosing this song is not only does it come under our criteria but also the sung (beat & tempo) is quite conventional of an Indie Rock Genre, especially as it sung and performed by a male. From listening to the song and studying the lyrics, we thought of the possibilities of having three set forms of performance/narrative and a mixture of the two. This will allows our group to create a well thought out, professional looking Indie Rock music video whilst still interesting our target audience.

Roles...

Initial Ideas

We worked together when disguising our initial ideas as I feel for total team communication dialogue seemed the best way forward, and by communicating verbally it allowed each member of our group to vocalise their thoughts. For our Indie Rock music video, i feel we all agreed on what the basics of each sub-category should be (highlighted in either Yellow or Blue on the mind map), however the most important aspect of our music video, which i feel we all agreed on with confidence and motivation to successes with a high mark, was the genre of our music video. Indie Rock genre seemed to be a favourite within our group and after having further investigations into a target audience and the genre of music each person prefers, most of our answers came back with either Indie Rock or Indie Pop (out of the two it came down to Indie Rock) and so confirmed our agreement with Indie Rock and could not have been possible without verbal communication.
