Research: Genre: Music Video Conventions [WIP]

Outline

The song we have chosen is an upbeat indie track called 'Northshore' by Tegan and Sara. We chose this because it is a relatively short song, easy to work with given our time constraints, and allows a lot of versatility in the kind of video footage and editing we can use that would suit it.


Conventions of Genre
- Close-up camera shots: mostly of the lead vocalist, with occasional cuts to other band members for the sake of inclusion
- Studio shooting: this allows control over lighting, access to many more technologies and techniques and is much less expensive than on-location shooting
