Genre Characteristics

Q1-07:

The music video portrays that of a typical Indie music video with key aspects such as younger actors being used. The Indie genre is generally referred to as something that is linked to youth and the lives of the under 25 individual. Also the clothing that they have chosen is of the indie style and as the indie genre has become more popular, you see more younger adults wearing these clothes in real life. Another good point to their work is that it follows the characteristics that indie music videos generally show a narrative or footage of the members of the band and they have clearly chosen the first option and it works well.

Lyrics and Visuals

Q1-10:

Lyrics and Visuals compliment especially at the beginning of the song - 'high up in the sky'. There is also a created image that could be carried on to promote the artists, i.e the pink dress and umbrella which is well done. Reminds us of the costume style of Lilly Allen

Lyrics and visuals

Q1-11:

- The lyrics fit the visuals well for example when they are saying high up in the sky it is a high angle shot taken from a tree down on to the singer. Also there are the lyrics about climbing up a hill and they literally do this at castle hill in Cambridge.

Improvements:
Have more visuals associated with flying as the lyric about flying is repeated constantly through the song.

Music and visuals

Q1-12:

the shots where the lead singer is dancing freely around the countryside and in a field reflects the timbre of the music.
- the use of long shots exaggerates the 'floaty' and playful elements of the song.
