Alex Beale - Artist's Non Verbal Communication


This is the music video for 'Decent Days and Nights' by The Futureheads. The costume in this music video fits with bands indie image that they have, as they are wearing quite dark plain clothes. The clothes are quite casual which fits with the indie image of the band.

Their posture and body movements throughout the video are as you would expect in an indie video, they are dancing and jumping around and being generally quite energetic; this matches the tempo and feel of the song. 

The facial expressions that the band members use in this video are again as you would expect in an indie video, they are nearly always making eye contact with the camera except when the camera moves behind them for example. 

The distance that the band are from the camera varies, as the song is very upbeat they are jumping close to the camera and away. This makes the video seem a lot more interesting and lively, it would be very boring if they all stood still throughout. We will make sure our band moves around like this in our video.

The pitch and tone changes slightly for the chorus of the song, this is good because the song would be fairly boring and it would just sound the same if the singer had a monotone voice throughout the song.
