Through researching similar products i have developed an understanding and idea of the typical conventions that are used in Indie music videos. They tend to feature the band or artist playing their instruments, there are normally two or three locations used which are typically in an abandoned area e.g. a warehouse and another widely used location is on a stage often accompanied with bright white stage lights. Indie bands tent to have four or five band members which are predominantly male.

 

This is the typical style for a male or female member in an Indie band.
