Bastille- Pompeii
Released; 2013
A major difference between this video and the earlier ones is that unlike the others which are filmed in more rural environments, we imediately learn from an establishing shot that this video is set in a city. However at the end of the video, the lead singer of the band has traveled from the city to a more rural area suggesting that this may be a recurring setting for indie pop videos.
GROUPLOVE- Tongue Tied
Released; 2011
In this video, props are used such as clothing, masks and make up to create the alternative vibe for the video that is exemplified in indie pop music. Editing effects are used throughout the entire video as the all the footage has been reversed, as well as this numerous other effects are used to create a cool vibe.
Noah and The Whale- 2 Bodies 1 Heart
Released; 2009
Interestingly, although being filmed later than the previous two videos this video seems of much less quality due to the fact that it seems to have been filmed to give a hand-held effect, as if the band are filming the video themselves. Similarly to the Lenka video there is a comical element to the video which seems to be an idea present in other indie pop videos.
Lenka- The Show
Released; 2008
I chose this video to compare and it uses many techniques which I could imagine being used for my own music video. This video differs from the older video by The Fratellis and it has several settings, all of them being in very normal places (e.g. parks, buses, bedrooms) which seems to be common in videos for this genre of music.
The Fratellis- Chelsea Dagger
Released; 2004
filmed ten years ago; this video differs from more recent videos in many ways. Firstly, through out the entire video there are only 3 different scenes; the stage, the burlesque changing room and the spotlit wall where the close ups are filmed.
