Conventions of a Rock Music Video

Conventions of a Rock Music Video-Sometimes they are in Black and white.

-The artist or band is shown throughout the video, use of lip syncing.

-Use of extreme close up and long shots.

-Use of lighting, sometimes they can be very dark.

-Very fast paced and cuts to the beat.

-Some use of special effects



Arctic Monkeys- A View From the Afternoon
This follows most of the conventions of Rock it is in black and white and features the band intertwined  with the narrative.



Kasabian- Switchblade Smile
This video is in black and white and also uses extreme close ups. There is no narrative to this video but it uses the rock colours of red, white and black.
