Vox Pop
Before the summer we decided to film a vox pop video discussing the genre of indie with some of our peers* to find out people's thoughts about the genre. We asked our interviewees 3 questions:
- What they associate with the genre of indie
- What instruments they associate with indie music
- What they don't like about indie music
Below is our video:
We found this a really useful way to find out more about our genre and people's perceptions of it. From our video, we discovered a lot about what people like and dislike, giving us suggestions of what we could embrace and what to stay away from.
Conventions people identified:
- Bright colours
- Nature
- Fields
- Drugs
- Acoustic instruments, especially guitar
What people disliked:
- Some were too weird
- Unoriginal/similar to other artists
- Repetitiveness
From this feedback, we expect to make a video that is not too weird, but also doesn't have the repetitiveness of some indie artists. We are also likely to include some of the identified conventions, especially bright colours and natural imagery.
