The first line of images above are taken from You Me at Six video Underdog, the second line is taken from The Script video Nothing and the last is taken from Oasis Wonderwall.
I choose these three videos as they are all in different subgenres within the alternate genre.
The conventions of a Alternative rock video as follows:
Close ups of instruments
Long shots of the band
Close ups of all of the members in the band
Costume wise they wear skinny jeans with patterned t-shirts or shirts and scarfs
There is a contrast between light and dark
Loads of close ups of the main singer to create a moment of pleasure for the audience
Usually follows a narrative or a concept
Dark clothing
Range of Instruments
Could you post an example of an Alternative Rock music video that really demonstrates most (or all) of the conventions you have mentioned here?
