As you can see our planning and expectations had not gone to our advantage so we have had to have a massive rethink of where we will be filming, who will be the band and who will be in the narrative side of the story, the props, some of the camera shots ect...
I have thought about looking into all of the conventions that are most common in a rock music video and I will be listing them to later on show them to Damon and Nick, here is my research on the most common and important conventions:
1. Rock videos are all performance and narrative based
2. The narrative shows either a person’s relationship being made or it being broken
3. The performance is more aimed at the band either playing in an urban area with lots of straight lines and sharp edges in the background or they are performing at a concert to thousands of people
4. Sometimes in the video there is the bands logo in the background
5. The location and the props have to fit in with the genre of music being played
6. The lighting has to be dark in the background and the band is lit up showing them as the main attention
7. All of the colours that are used are mainly dark and deep
8. Sometimes videos are weird
9. Usually some special effects
10. Usually set at night time or in the streets
And there are many more but these are just the main 10 that I think are most important. As we are making a rock music video I think that we should follow as many of these conventions as we possibly can and if we don’t I will be posting later on about why we have not followed these conventions.
