Reason for choosing our genre, advantages and constraints
Looking over our codes and conventions of the indie genre it is clear there are some advantages and constraints:

Advantages:
- Cheap production
- Viewing everyday objects in a new light could be difficult but the objects themselves would be easy to get hold of
- The links to nature is something we can achieve, filming in parks, woods and so on
- A rebellious nature should be easy to portray, often alcohol and cigarettes are used

Disadvantages
- We are very reliant on creativity and successfully making ‘normal’ things appear interesting
- Fashion is very closely linked to this genre, if we don’t get it right it could be a huge problem
- There are limited number of influences and people we can be inspired from as the genre is very niche
- Viewing everyday objects in a new light could be difficult
