Research overview

My research has helped me understand lots of things about Indie music. Indie itself is a varied style and can be interpretted in different ways, for example the difference between the Arctic Monkeys music video Brainstorm is completely different to The Killers music video Mr Brightside. This could be to do with where the bands are from as The Killers are From Las Vegas and The Arctic Monkeys are from Sheffield, both bands obviosly having very different upbringings and could be reflected in thier music videos as the Mr Brightside video was very "flashy" compared to Brainstorm. Indie Fans seem to choose bands whoose music they like and then look up to them as sort of "role models", the bands having thier own style and do as they like and wear what they like. For the advert and digipacks in Indie music The Killers, Hurts and Bombay Bicycle Club all seem to keep both of thiers the same as shown in my research. Fans of The Killers seem to like this as shown by my interview answers. The music videos that The Killers do always have a storyline through them relating to the song and Fans seem to like this as also shown in my interview answers, however one did say that they would rather there be no perfomance. In order to appeal to fans of Indie music we will have to follow what The Killers do in order to create something similar so that thier fans will like our work.
