Conventions for Music Videos

Pre Production Planning on Prezi

Our specific genre conventions: Rock:


Rock music videos are renowned for being performance based. Rock music videos also commonly feature the band playing live, however when they do not the video is usually dark and 'unsteady'. I mean unsteady in the sense that the camera work is often seemingly hand-held and rough. Finally, there is not often much editing or special effects involved in rock music videos, instead they are just to the point.
