Acoustic rock/ Alternative rock/ Folk rock/ Blues rock

Conventions of Genre

For acoustic rock, alternative rock, folk rock and blues rock studio shots are used to save money however, if a song carries particular meaning, message or theme it can be set outside for example: ‘Lewis Watson – 3’

The main protagonist is usually the band or artist in narrative style structures however the most commonly used structure for my chosen genres in performance.

The iconography of the video is usually reflected through the band or artists image as they bring their own style and personality to their video.

Iconography should therefore represent the genre and artist for example, there is very rarely a blues rock video with the main protagonist in the diegesis is wearing brightly coloured clothes

The structure of acoustic rock, alternative rock, folk rock and blues rock is usually performance. However narrative is also frequently used. Abstract is rarely used.

There are usually lots of close ups on the band members or artist and not a wide range of shot types.

The shots are also usually either from a high angle or level angle. The editing is done to the beat of the song which is conventional of all music videos

and not just of my chosen genres.
