Conventions of an Indie music video

Camera

in indie promo there are various shot types like a mid shot when they are preforming to show off their musical tallents or an extreme close up or close up when singing to empathise the mood of the track. during the narrative there combinations of shots including a long shot to set the scene of the track at the begginig

Editing

The editing in music promos are usually Are usually quick passed to keep the audience interested  and this is also because there is allot to put into a musical promo. sometimes they are cut to beat of the song. the edits in a music promo tend to be straight cuts. but in a slower song with nice melody there tends to fade to black to compliment the music and mood its trying to convey.

the mise en scene in the indie genre tends the clothing in my mood board the hipster/vintage look with the clothing or a very easy laid back suburban look. the props you will see in and indie promo will be the instruments relevant to band weather or not they combine performance and narrative.
