Artist in Video 2

'Fly away with me' by Tom Walker is another example of the artist playing a cameo role. Here Tom Walker gives the homeless man some change, and he is only in the video himself for 15seconds. Even though this is such a short time, it has a huge impact as fans recognise him straight away, which is something we hope to achieve by having the artist in our music video. This way, if we were a real band, fans would recognise him the way Tom Walker was recognised in this video.

Artsist in Video

An example of an Indie videos where the artist appears as a cameo is 'Sleep on the Floor' by The Lumineers. In this video the main male actor is one of the band members.

Boy as the artist

One convention of real media products within the Indie Genre is having the artist play a role in the music video. Although we are not having any lip syncing, we decided he could play the mysterious character of the man in the trench-coat.

Storyboard Video

Here is our storyboard in video form.

Shot Inspiration

These shots have from different music videos have given me inspiration for our own music video. As we are filming people on a journey, we could have shots of their feet as they walk, as seen in Kasabians "King for a Day" and DOROTHYs "Raise Hell". Another idea is wide shots of them walking or running down paths like the ones I have screen-shotted from DOROTHYs "Dark Nights" music video. Lastly we had the idea to film in a supermarket or shop too, e.g. getting some crisp or sweets for their journey. The screenshot I have taken is from "Peanut Butter Jelly" music video by Galantis. I chose this one as the shot shows both sides of the aisle which makes the audience focus on the person in the middle, and also gives a different lighting effect than outside.

BORNS - American Money

The reason why I like this video is because of the dim lighting that is contrasted with pastel coloured clothes. My music video is the complete opposite to this which is why I believe this is a good video to refer to as it shows how diverse the Indie genre is.
