Instruments

Indie pop music, like all genres has certain instruments that are used often to create the feeling and sound of the genre. Mahum conducted the research regarding the associated instruments.

1. Electric Guitar 

An electric guitar is a guitar that uses one or more pickups to convert the vibration of its strings into electrical signals. The vibration occurs when a guitar player strums, plucks, finger picks, or taps the strings.



2.Acoustic Guitar 

An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air as opposed to relying on electronic amplification.The sound waves from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body, creating sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings.




3.Electronic Drum

An electronic drum, also known as electric drums, digital drums, or electronic percussion, is a modern electronic musical instrument, a special type of synthesizer or sampler, primarily designed to serve as an alternative to an acoustic drum kit or other percussion instruments



4-Melodic Percussion


A melodic percussion instrument is a percussion instrument used to produce several different notes of different pitches. Melodic percussion instruments are examples of pitched percussion and include mallet percussion and keyboard percussion



5.Keyboard Bass

Keyboard bass is the use of a low-pitched keyboard or pedal keyboard to substitute for the bass guitar or double bass in music.




6.Pianos

The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument invented in Italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori around the year 1700, in which the strings are struck by hammers.


7.Keyboard

A keyboard instrument is a musical instrument played using a keyboard, a row of levers which are pressed by the fingers. The most common of these are the piano, organ, and various electronic keyboards, including synthesizers and digital pianos.





8. Sound Synthesizers 


A synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals that may be converted to sound. Synthesizers may imitate traditional musical instruments such as piano, flute, vocals, or natural sounds such as ocean waves; or generate novel electronic timbres.

Representation in Indie Pop Music Videos

Since Indie as an umbrella genre provides artists with full creative liberty we see that Indie Pop music videos represent people from all walks of life. It is not limited to any one social group and will often represent multiple social groups in the same video. A good example of this is George Ezra's 'Budapest' music video. Age Group If there is one social group that Indie Pop represents more than others, it's young adults since the majority of the artists in this genre belong to that age group. Artists who emerge in the Indie Pop scene, usually do so when they're rather young so even if they make music for a long time it still falls withing that age group. This isn't to say that adults do not partake in the making of Indie Pop music videos or that children are not represented. Gender Indie pop is inclusive of all genders and is one of the genres where equal participation of males and females can be observed. Gender bending is not uncommon.

Softwares

For our video we will be using different softwares: For the editing of our video we will be using Adobe Premiere Pro. It is one of the best editing soft wares. This was a natural choice since Mahnoor, our editor is already well acquainted with the software and due to its easy availability (she already has it on her laptop). For the Digipack design and animated drawings we will be using Photoshop. This is the software we used for our Magazine task and are therefore familiar and comfortable with it. All of us having ample skills on the software will also allow us to divide certain tasks and get them done more efficiently. We decided to make the website using Wix.com which is an online free website builder tool, particularly for the range of options it offers us such as playable tracks that would be handy when building a website for an artist.
