The genre of my track is alternative rock as there are multiple songs within in this genre I've been able to comply common conventions of alternative rock which can be adopted in my music video.
1. Camera Movements
The main goal, aim within alternative rock music videos is to highlight the 'musicianship' of the band. Close-ups and extreme close up shots are used on the various band members to emphasise their musical talents. For instance, the guitar or drum solo just before the last of the song.
Additionally, wide shots are often used to represent the band as well as a whole, as well as to show the equality within the band.
2. Editing
As alternative rock tracks are often fast paced the music videos are cut to the beat of the drum of guitar rhythm.
3. Performance based music videos
Performance based music videos can help build up a star image for the band . Having a star image means that the audience can recognise the band by their style or look.
4. Narrative based
Bands often use narrative based music videos in order to make it engaging for the viewer, this in turn encourages the viewer to keep watching. The narrative often contains humour which can be seen as a style which can form the star image.
5.Lighting
Diegetic studio lighting is often adopted and is especially effective as the use of high key lighting makes the band appear flawless and glamorous .
Additionally, diegetic backlighting creates a silhouette of the band elevating their status making them seem important.
6.Iconography
Iconography is very important as it makes a part of the bands signature which allows the audience to recognise them.
