My chosen genre is indie rock, this is quite a small section of the music industry this includes artist like Ed Sheeran, Lily Allen and Lana Del Rey. The song we have chosen is 'You, My Everything', by choosing this genre it would be more easily made professional because these videos tend not to have high budget and effects. The artist within this genre tent to tour and attend many festival which is where they'll make most money they can get paid thousands for one performance, this is also due to the target audience seem to go to festivals and its a excellent way of finding new audiences.
The genre of Indie is hard to have collaborations so artist tend to have solos with acoustic or heavy
beats. They also have large market in there music being remixed so it can be played at clubs and parties. An Indie artist normally gets a contract with a record label by just making themselves well known. Lily Allen done this by myspace, Gabriella done this by using youtube, Ed Sheeran done over 300 gigs within a year. These are some of many ways a indie artist can get noticed. Another big way to get noticed is by being played by radio1 they are well known for finding new artist and introducing them to views all over England.
From theses 3 album covers you can see they are both very simple and have the artist on the front, this gives an artist image making them known for there music and they also have the name of the album. With the artist name in bold at the stop making it clear who the artist is, this will make the audience want to read it with most of the artist having unusual names. They all have an emotional expression on there face to give the buyer an idea on what the album will be about.
