Genre Research

Below is a mood board of what I think the image of the 'Indie Rock' genre is:

From this, I think the artists of this genre want to be presented as casual, yet fun. Their costumes are usually suits, however they appear both smart and laid-back in their appearance. It seems that when the artists associated with this genre perform gigs, it appears as quite an intimate setting, however when performing in a festival, it changes to become quite energetic and lively. Instruments included within this genre are always shown within a music video; close-ups of the guitar/drums are frequently seen. The colours are quite pale - they're not vibrant like those that would be seen in other genres, such as: pop. The use of lighting, and whether it is high or low-key usually depends on the mood of the song, as many videos of this genre vary in their appearance. The setting of the music videos will change, as within the music video, multiple shots of different locations will be seen.
