- Indie - Stereotypical dress and low key style.    Metal - Fast editing and less emphasis on the face as to keep focus on the song and not the artist.   R&B - The lighting in the scenes.

- Indie - Their style of clothes and the way they play the guitar.   Metal - Gothic style and music that can blow your ears.    R&B - The lighting and the scenery were typical of R&B videos, it was also kind of Gangster like.

- Indie - The video displayed the typical conventions of the indie genre with their clothes and the style in which the video was filmed and the way they played the instruments.  Metal - I enjoy the metal genre and have to say that the narrative didn't describe the genre that well, however the clothes and style of the characters was accurate.  R&B - Typical conventions of the music genre in the lighting and narrative, almost as if more emphasis is put in the video than the song.

7) Does indie music interest you? If so why?

8) Do you pay that much attention to the artwork on a CD sleeve?
- Yes I always look at the Sleeve.
- Yes if the front interests me than i will look at the back to see which songs are on the CD. If I don't like the CD sleeve of my favourite artist I will download the tracks I like instead.

9) What would you expect to see on an indie genre CD sleeve?
- I would expect to see something within the narrative on the CD sleeve.
