Indie Rock
For this post I am going to be looking at the codes and conventions of Indie Rock.
The genre originates from the UK and the USA from the 00's, Indie rock was a sub genre of alternative rock, starting in the 80's alt rock came around from independent underground music and this slowly became more and more popular and expanded with different styles and this then created more sub genres some bands that helped progress the genre's were, The Smiths, Nirvana and Oasis.
I believe that most Indie rock are represented as band who love music as most of them write all thier own music, not all artists in the charts can say that they do that in most cases indie rock bands just want there music to be heard they are not all out to make as much money as they can they love making music and even more so love to preform it!
Current music videos in indie rock you often seen a narrative portrayed in between shots of live performance of the band by doing this they are showing they are the ones playing not just a computer and its what they love as a band! A good examples of this is are Artic monkeys- You and I, Don Broco Actors, Swim Deep - Honey All three music videos show a simple narrative and shots of the bands performing.
I feel like my video is going to follow close to a video like these as it will have a narrative and proformance shots.
When I am thinking of indie rick bands the bands that come to mind are:
The Arctic monkeys:
The Arctic Monkeys are an indie Rock band formed in England, Sheffield this does have an impact on the band as when Alex Turner is sing we can here his accent and this can portray what the song is trying to put across to the listener, the band formed in 2002 the have released 5 studio albums across there career.
