Artist Research
As part of my research for my music video the artists I will be focusing on are those in the indie-rock genre. As a pair we have decided our focus would like to be on bands/groups within the indie-rock genre so I have done some background research on a selection of those. This will inspire our song choice for our music video production and help to outline which artists I am more fond of in comparison with those I am not.
