ALTERNATIVE ROCK CODES AND CONVENTIONS














By looking at a range of different alternative rock music videos we managed to find different codes and conventions for the genre. We found that performance and narrative based music videos were often used as opposed to concept based as you can create a star image or band signature and this is usually done through close up shots. Most of close up shots in the alternative music genre are of the vocalist, however, you often see close up shots of the other band members as well as it introduces you to the band as well as adding to their band signature.
