Charactersistics of my Genre

Its important that in my music video i include conventionalities within my chosen genre of music, so that it can be identified as from within that genre. Characterstics of the Heavy Rock genre is dark colours and little mise-en-scene, both locations and clothes can vary greatly.

Depending on preference i can utilize a wide variety of mise-en-scene and still be relative to the rock genre, such as a fast paced city scene, or even in the woods. Due to my geographical location and ease of filming it will probably be he latter. A Conventionality within Heavy Rock is that usually the band will take part within the video, however this will be notably absent from my video, and will feature completley non iagetic sound. As Heavy rock can span a whole spectrum of music, it is important for me to create a video which complements the video, for example, metal video's can be heavily influenced by medieval charactersistics, and accompanying themes such as witchcraft, and the church is also heavily present, just as much i could feature a music video heavily influenced on modern times, if it reflects more modern interpretations of rock, such as a band playing atop a skyscraper in the midst of a large metropolis.

It is also important to feature unconventionalities within my music video, as this will both differ my music video from ones of the same genre, and allow me to explore boundaries outside of the genre, this is something i would much like to incorporate within my music video.
