Artists that have reflected off in creating our own artist include Calvin Harris, Example, Chipmunk.
Calvin Harris is signed with Columbia Records (owned by Sony Music Entertainment)
Example is signed with Ministry of Sound.
Music videos created by Major labels and Indie often have similar looks, but major labels have the bigger budget which evidently reflects on the location of the shoot, the props and the costumes. However, it is argued Indie music videos focus more on the new wave aspect, creating something going against the typical codes and conventions of a music video, using a lot of special effects which we will consider when creating our own video, because we're trying to have that crossover from Indie to Major and vice versa, we want our video to have that major label feel but still keeping in mind our target audience still consists of Indie fans too, seeing as all these artists were once signed with Indie record labels.



Bilaal - MoS is an independent label! However, does it specialise in a particular type of music which is currently quite popular and, therefore almost mainstream at the moment? You could argue, if they specialise, they may well have expertise in filming music videos within a particular genre and getting them placed in effective marketing slots... Maybe research label a bit more and adjust....
