conventions of a music video in my chosen genre

Cinematography

The cinematography in 'Rock' genre sometimes becomes repetitive. This is due to the type of  music it is they need a plethora of  shots the match upbeat tempo of the music and the raw sound of the instruments. In Rock the video usually have a lot of close up's and mid shots of the instruments in the video, this is order to indicate to the audience watching the video that ban is playing the video live. There is normally dark lighting in the shots that they take in the video because the audience the normally watch the video like weird, unusual dark things.


Mise En Scene

The Mise En Scene in 'Rock' Video is like some that you would not find in other genre's Due to content of what the songs are about. In most video's The band are always shot in an area that gives the impression that the band are playing by themselves with nothing but the members and their instruments. For example you would see some of the bands in the woods being filmed or in an empty warehouse, always interesting location to make up fior the fact that the shot may not be seen as that interesting. Other conventions of rock music video's is that they would have random shots of things that you may not think has anything to do with the video however it has a bigger meaning behind it that nay not obvious at first. An example of this would be a lonely boy walking through, or a someone chasing a chicken video or maybe the artist acting throughout the whole video telling a story to the viewer.
