We have decided to break conventions of Folk Rock, not only in just including a narrative but in attempting to make the music video more light hearted and comical. This is because so far I have been unimpressed with how many folk rock videos lack personality.
We wanted to go against this and take influences in our video from other subgenres of rock. We have done this in our narrative but we are also going to attempt to capture this in our narrative.
In addition to this we are breaking conventions of Folk Rock in having a carribean singer. As folk rock is entirely white dominated amongst it's artists (something very true of rock in general) we have chosen to have a black singer perform in our music video. This was at first not intentional, as he was in fact just the person who mimed the best (he was originally intended to be our bassist) and then we chose to have him as both bassist and singer.
We have decided to use this fact to break the conventions of Folk Rock within our music video.
