Slidely TA Profile

Ryan Frankish's Slidely by Slidely Slideshow

As can be seen in my slidely, the indie genre mainly attracts younger fans, who seemingly appear working class, my aim is to apply these factors into my video so I can adhere to the conventions of the indie genre and create something attracting and appealing to current fans of the indie genre. I intend to use working class style clothes that appear casual and to use messy hairstyles that can either be short or long, hairstyles of the indie genre are varied as almost anything is accepted and that is the whole point of indie, to be independent and unique, this is how I will portray the star in the video. The audience will not be niche as a lot of people can fit into a young category 16-25, these normally are a group called 'aspirers' who are pursuing a dream, I also aim to find away to attract aspirers to my video, apply characteristics to my artist that they were young, they worked hard, chased a dream and now they're riding high. Due to it being a young audience we are attracting we also most likely need to include links to social media and even create a page for our artist as youth culture are stereotypically extremely addicted to internet use and social media and this a their main source of consuming information and videos via social media and You Tube. Due to the indie genre varying so much it allows young people to open a door to find out who they really are and this is why if the video is successful in adhering the conventions of the indie genre we can attract any sexuality.
I could also apply product placement in order to reel in a certain audience, for example I could use a phone/electronic brand within the music video in order to attract youth due to the reason I mentioned before, they are stereotypically attracted to phones therefore applying one in the video my attract a young audience. Youth culture are all about socialising so I could apply groups of people in the background as extras or apply meeting places such as Costa Coffee or Starbucks which also adds product placement to the video.
