Conventions of the Indie Genre

3 initial ideas in relation to narrative of video/ film etc

I have 3 ideas about what I would maybe like to include in my music video:

1. Boy meets girl but not with the typical love story/heartbreak narrative. I want the narrative to be purely focused on the boy and girl getting into the relationship stage. This way the message the music video is giving out wont be 'cheesy' or typical of a love story. Id have the music video be in black and white as that goes with the style of the song. I also would have fast paced editing to go with the fast speed of the song. I may speed up some shots in the video to add depth and show a variety of techniques. I will include close ups and long shots to show the process of the boy getting the girl.
2. Boy proposing to girl. Show different elements of relationship from when they first met to now and how much they have been through. Use flashbacks to show memories so flashes in between shots. Have memories in black and white and present day films in colour to show difference. Maybe start with him being on one knee and end with her saying yes (nodding).
3. End of relationship. Shows how they met and the happy memories they had, then progress to them now and how they are not happy anymore. Black and white memories, reflecting back on them arguing to go along with the fast pace of the song.
