Research into real artists of a similar type

Sophia Ritter, Vladimir, Sophia Kounopias and me have finally came up with indie for our genre and we wanted a grungy feel to it. Like smokey effect, black and white texture with arty shots of hands.

Sophia Kounopias suggested that we should go for a dark grungy look and the song we should look go for is My Beautiful Leah by PJ Harvey.

I thought it was somesthing different from the pop music video and we as a group were happy to work with the song for the music video.

The  song is about a girl who was lost. And Sophie Ritter generate this idea of mother and daughter relationship and then we refer to Shining the horror film. Together we came up with :

We will definitely look further in details regarding the practicality of finding little girl or choosing a suitable location to shoot it. This is our basic idea which we have in mind and it might probably.
Another idea which I came up with was shots of hand choreography and I got this idea from the Dev- In the Dark. Since our music video is moving towards darker shade of lighting and grungy look, I thought we could use black background with red/black coloured hands to reinforce the metaphors of the music video. We have decided that we wil go for less narrative in the music video, rather more abstract more abrupt as this will make the audience to think more. So it is very ambiguious and different people with different ways interpreting it.

The artist we looked at was Pj Harvey. her style is very organic as her video is about her music and not her image, therefore she is not very advertised and that very few people know. She reminds me of Kater Bush.
PJ Harvey has a rock and roll / grungy/vintage style.
