The genre of music I will be exploring is Rock.
I will show 5 examples of music video's from this genre and explain the common conventions.
The style of video is common convention in Rock music videos. The artists/bands have a section of the video showing them performing the song.
2 examples of the performances are from Walk and Lived A Lie.
Another common convention in Rock music videos is varying camera shots. The artists use different camera shots to show the band performing. Some shots the lead singer and others show the other musicians in the bands.
2 examples of the varying camera shots are Stay and Mr Brightside
A convention occasionally used in Rock music videos is the integration of non-diegetic sound. This is sound that does not naturally occur whilst the music is being played.
2 examples of the insertion of non-diegetic sound is Bring Me To Life and Walk
The Mis en screen in a Rock music videos show many similarities. The costumes in Rock music videos are commonly dark coloured and casual, however some styles of clothing vary from denim to leather jackets, to suits, depending on the meaning behind the song.
2 examples of dark costumes are seen in Lived A Lie and Stay
More than one aspect of Mis en screen in Rock music videos are shown. The hair and make-up in a Rock music video may not necessarily be shown on the artist, it may be shown on other characters in the video. This may be to attract attention to the other figures in the video. Hair and Make-up is important for the artist as they are they may be the feature of the video and therefore need to look their best or represent the theme of the video or song.
2 examples of hair and make-up are shown in Bring Me To Like and Mr Brightside
