RE3 Conventions of our genre with specific references to examples

The genre of music we are using is rock music. Bands which have similar sound to our band are bands such as, bowling for soup, blink 182, Green Day and Simple Plan. Rock music often uses electric guitars, acoustic guitars and brum and bass. Brums are used in my music and so are guitars. Dark colours are often used in rock songs such as Simple plan (see video below).

The conventions of rock music video are that the band is shown throughout the video usually performaing but they can be shown in a narrative. It is unlikely to see a rock music video without the band performing, this is usally a part of their image. They sometimes appear as a narrative video for example, in bowling for soup's music video ''When We Die''. Extreme close ups and long shots are also used a lot to show their image. Close ups are useful if the band is wearing make-up. Dark locations are also popular and special effects are used occasionally.
