similar artist research

As a group we have identified The Fray as a similar artist. we are going to use there videos to influence the way in which we film ours. From other videos produced by The Fray, we have noticed a large use of establishing shots, close up shots and panning shots. We have also noticed cross cuts between narrative and performance, a technique we have weaved into our video. as well as this we have also been able see the way in cutting rates change between chorus and verse and the way in which a lot of cuts are on the beat of the song. however we are most likely going to break this common convention of music videos and are going to have the cuts of beat, this breaking of conventions relates to the indie genre our artist is from.
