Gratification Of The Audience.

Indie Acoustic the indie part is all about rejecting the mainstream and being different therefore to give the audience the indie part joking along side acoustic music we need to make sure our artists is dressed up a typical indie kid. So we need to dress our artists up in black skinny jeans with a white lace used as a belt, slip on vans/ converse and a t shirt. To also please the people that are listening to the music not to be different there listening to it because the like acoustic music we need to include the standard acoustic guitar and him performing in one way or another throughout our music video.

So indie acoustic gratifies the audience by giving them a fashion and attitude to follow. The audience find this sort of music very relaxing therefore they will get entertainment out of watching it as it will relax them so if there having a bad day they may find by listening to some indie acoustic music it helps relax them.

Here is a good role model for an indie kid to follow, this is Zac Farro from the band Paramore but many indie kids would follow this sort of fashion. It is more of the younger crowd who want to be known as an indie kid are more likely to follow thing fashion sense. But the ones that are more geared to the acoustic music would look more like Joshua Radin with the rough look. Therefore we need to get our artists looking somewhere in between the two.

There artists builds a connection with indie acoustic artists as there are lot of shots where they are facing the camera and singing to the audience. Here are 4 printscreen shots taken from music videos firstly Matchbox Twenty: 3Am, If You're Gone then Frank Turner: I Still Believe, Peggy Sang The Blues.

You can see in all 4, the artists are singing directly to the audience to create that connection between the lyrics, the artists and the audience and then connection back to the genre through clothing, lighting and hairstyles. This also helps to build a relationship between the artists and the audience as they gain a better perception of the artists. Within many indie acoustic music videos there is a girl included which also relate to how some people many be feeling so it allows them to dream of the girl they like/want so this is another way they gratify the audience.
