The pros and cons of my chosen song
The reasons why the song 'Stitches' is being used for my music video is, that the lyrics of the song are very emotive which will allow for a strong narrative aspect for the video. However it also has a faster chorus and catchy riffs which allows for a performance aspect as well which means that we can make the video diverse and interesting for the audience. It will also allow for us to sell the image of the band which has been proven to be important for our target audience.

On the other hand, it could be seen that the song is too slow for an indie song and that it does not represent the indie culture enough, due to the fact that the outfits of the band are not shown a lot in the video which goes against the conventions of indie music videos as the fashion aspect is not there. It also does not show insight into the indie culture with activities like clubbing etc.

THE DYKEENIES LYRICS – STITCHES
When you feel so weak and you scratch those stitches reminding you of why you fell away after yourself And you cant hold still and you gamble more than enough you cant depend on them

Still, I adore the taste of rain and the bouncing down on the ground it reminds me
Make a wish tonight all the stars are out the sound of your hands were not out of reach cause
It’s not out of reach this is not out of reach
You feel so weak you burst those stitches reminding you of just why you felt so cruel

Still, I adore the taste of rain and the bouncing down on the ground it reminds me!
Still, I adore the taste of rain and the bouncing down on the ground you cant depend on them
Make a wish tonight all the stars are out the sound of your hands were not out of reach just…
Make a wish tonight all the stars are out the sound of your hands were not out of reach cause it’s not out, its not not out of reach they build you up, they build you up

Don’t , don’t run away dear (4x)

Still, I adore the taste of rain and the bouncing down on the ground and the crackle of water well in the mark of all your…
Make a wish tonight all the stars are out it’s out of your hand but not out of reach it’s out of your hand but not out of reach

This video is most popular with:
Gender Age

Male 13-17
Male 18-24


This shows that our audience are predominantly young people of both genders who use the internet often. This means that the video will need to appeal to this audience, perhaps by having narrative that contains actors from this age group, the audience would be able to relate to them. The video will also need to contain costumes that conform with the indie style so that the audience can further relate to all of the people within he video, the performers and the actors.
