Acoustic Indie.

Acoustic Indie distinguishes itself from mainstream music video by filming in low key lighting and sometimes making it look like it was made in the 70's like Beady Eye did with Millionaire which is not completely acoustic indie but it relates to it.
Ed Sheeran- The A Team was filmed in black and which to give the upset and down impression, The cuts are quite slow and some are not positioned well, this gives the impression its unprofessional and the video was made very cheaply.
Its very common in acoustic indie that the lyrics match the video just like Frank Turner- Photosynthesis which is a happier song and the video is based around the kids not sitting down, not shutting up and not growing up which is portrayed very well within this music video. Joshua Radin- I'd Rather Be With You his lyrics also link in with the music video as its him wanting to be with a girl and it cuts between where she is and him playing his acoustic guitar in different places. So acoustic indie is normally a sad slow song with a slow cutting rate and normally has quite dark lighting in certain parts of the video.
