8* Conventions of a music video

Conventions of a music video:
  • Close ups of singer/individual members - emotion of singer, who is like the face of the band
  • Long shots of band
  • Tracks to and away from the singer
  • Composition - singer is always in the centre of the frame
  • Tilt - the pace of the video
  • Instruments of the band - close ups
  • crane shots show different perspectives also creates drama and tension through the video
  • Slow cuts at the beginning of a music video to create tension or makes the audience wait until they get into the actual music of the video
  • slow motion for effect
  • Fast cuts when song starts
