PUNK ROCK/ ALTERNATIVE CODES AND CONVENTIONS

  • Band shots flipping to a storyline
  • Close ups on instruments and artists
  • Focus on lead singer
  • Close half shot of lead singers face
  • Low angle shots
  • Wide shots of the band
  • Constant variety of depth of field shots
  • Usually a small band - 3 - 4 members
  • Occasionally edited with a black and white filter
  • Dark Clothing (rebellious)
  • Make-up (eyeliner etc.)
  • Crazy Hairstyles
  • Outdoor shots - nature
  • Natural light
  • Indoor artificial light
  • Always a form of narrative, but it doesn't always have to link with the song/ lyrics
  • Many videos take one idea from a song and create a narrative around that.
Eddie and I have taken all these factors on board and have chosen to use the highlighted ones above. We believe these in particular portray our genre very well together as a package and will hopefully make the genre very clear to our audience. We have taken a lot of inspiration from other music videos of the same genre and have worked out which elements work best in each video - from there we chose the codes we will take and insert into our video.
