Mood boards and
Inspiration from
Indie/ Alternate Rock
Genre.
By Millie Iron

Possible Shot Types.
Tom Odell ‘ Another Love’
The Time lapse long shot occurs throughout, meaning it’s a one
shot video. We wish to use time lapse of similar appearance within
our music video.
Alt J ‘Breezeblocks’ uses the bathroom and a
dark blue filter throughout, we plan on using both
in our final production.
Hozier ‘Take me to church’ contains a detailed fire
shot, in which we wish to use as a symbolic prop
within our music video.

Key Artists from our
Genre:

Possible Location
types:
After textually
analyzing the
1975’s
‘Robbers’, I
realized that the
locations within
the video are
effective in
achieving the
narrative and
are thus
inspirational to
our own final
music video.
The time of day,
weather and
scenery within
this video, all
act as an
inspiration as
well.

This Clip of Rhianna leaving her boyfriend who
is evidently under the influence of drugs and
alcohol, has inspired us to begin our music
video with a woman leaving her partner (
Portrayed by Matt Rose) because of a similar
reason.

Props and Costume
Inspiration.
• The main character within our music video (
Portrayed by Matt Rose) will be wearing clothes
only of the colours black, white and red.
• On the Other hand, the main characters love
interest ( Olivia Halpin) will adopt a Indie 90’s
attire look, with vibrant oversized shirts.

Target Audience
According to NME Magazine, the target
audience for Indie/Alternate Rock genre
ranges from 16-25, with predominately male
viewers. This statistic incorporates our
peers and our own age, so we will complete
a survey regarding the contents of our
video, that will be answered by the exact
audience we wish to target within our video.

Why have we chosen
this genre?
We have chosen this genre because as a group, we believe our own
technical and creative skills fit this genre more than any other. We like to
focus on controversial narratives with a emphasis on Mise-en-scenic
elements like costume and props. We have discovered this from the
success of the production of our Bloodstream video in the summer. The
locations within the genre are more accessible, then say a pop music
video which usually is set in exotic locations like beaches. This was
another factor that inclined us to adopt the Indie Rock Genre for our
music video. Our personal tastes also influenced our choice of genre,
because as a group we preferred the style, lyrics and narrative from
Indie Rock music videos.
