Hello, Hello, Hello!
Time to talk about conventions of music videos of different genres. We cannot lie, conventions are a thing and they are quite often stereotypical. In the lesson we looked at three very different genres and a few videos from each. These were my findings of the conventions:
- ROCK
- Concert
- Band playing the instruments
- Performing.
- Dark, rather tight clothing
- Story to the music not on the same shots as the band
- Close ups on the band members, mainly the lead singer
- Extreme close ups on the instruments
- When an instrument comes to play, camera focuses on it.
- Usually dark with high key focused lighting.
- Band members – sweaty.
- Quick camera movements.
- Abandoned/empty places.
- A lot of tattoos, piercings, spikes, make up.
