As part of my research for my music video, i am studying the conventions within the noise rock genre. Here are three of the music videos i have studied:
Out of these three videos only two of them show the artists. The Health video is quite different to the other videos, and other videos of the genre that i have seen as it uses footage purely from a television programme. Taking footage from programmes can be common in music videos for this genre, but only like a three or four second long clip, so this genre still goes against the conventions of the genre by the amount of television footage in the video.
The Sonic Youth video is quite conventional of the genre as the film quality is quite bad and this is done on purpose to fit the the more distorted sounds, the band is in the video and this is conventional of the genre
The Polvo video has the artist in the video but the people playing the instruments are actually friends of the band instead of the actual members. This subverts certain conventions of the genre as the artist is often seen playing the song, although some members of the band are still in the video so it still follows conventions in that sense.
