Hard Rock/Heavy metal have many obvious conventions which are;
-Play instruments (guitar/drums)
-Have a main singer (quite screamy)
-Music is very loud/fast
-Colours are dark (black/red)
-Band members are very 'head banging'
-The band members have long hair which swoops across their face
-Main singer will come very close to the camera
-Fire/darkness is associated in the videos
-The narrative is still usually involving a 'love story' or affair
You have identified good key points. Are there any more? What are the effect/why are they used? Try and include images & clips to show the conventions in context
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Images are an excellent idea.
