How to make a hipster music video

I watched this video called How to Write a Hipster Rock Anthem by BuzzFeed. It is sooo hilarious and catchy that I decided to make a list on how to make a hipster music video.

Below is the said music video, folks.



So on to the how-tos...

Step 1: Get scruffy/not-so good looking but still decent looking dudes
Hipsters take pride in their looks in a way that they give an impression that they don't (what?). Hence the scruffy/I-don't-take-care-of-my-appearance appearance.

I don't know what to write about girls. Any ideas?

Step 2: Location, location, location
To have a perfect hipster music video, location plays an important part. All time favourite hipster location would be: the garden, the attic, an empty room with musical instruments and stuff, a normal music video set which normally don't have anything but instruments, a run-down place and some random place that don't make sense.

Step 3: Filters
Most hipster music videos have filter like you're taking a picture using a lomo camera. It's like those Instagram photo effects. It is to give a retro/vintage feel to the video.

Step 4: Look really stoned, bored and zombified
Notice how the people in hipster music videos look? Yes! They either look bored, stoned or zombified (or even hypnotized). You can choose to make them stand or sit. And sing like you're super tired like you're about to faint.

Step 3: Props
Have something vintage such as vinyl record players, old telephones, lomo cameras or you guys can go totally steampunk (minus the class).

Step 4: Have san serif fonts
If you wanna add texts to the music video, be sure to use sans serif. Hispters are (sometimes) minimalists after all(?)

Step 5: Outfits
Make sure you dress your actors up in vintage clothes or clothes that look like they come from the thrift shop or Urban Outfitters. Oh, and Converse really suit the whole hipsteresque concept. Bonus point: Stain/tie-dye the outfits.

Step 6: Do random movements
Get your actors to do random movements such as run around, laugh or dance like they're high on drugs (even though they're not).

Step 7: Make sure the singers do weird moves
Get the lead singer to do weird movements while singing but make sure it suits the beat of the song.

So, there you have it. 7 easy steps to make your very own hipster music video. If you guys have any hipster music video of your own to show me, you guys can post your links on the comment below. Have a nice day.

Cheers!
