Genre of music I'm focusing on and its conventions

Indie:
Editing is usually quite fast paced depending on the music
Usually casual clothing
Often a mixture of narrative + performance and sometimes the whole band performs. When Indie music videos do have a narrative they are often quite symbolic and do not literally follow the lyrics.
Usually close ups to show the main artist singing & the rest of the band performing in a wide shot in the background.
Speical effects are sometimes used.



OR


Rock/ Metal:
Lighting is often dark to make it seem mysterious, scary or an edgy tone.
The band usually performs in the video
Stereotypes of Rock/Metal bands include dressed in the dark colours with multiple tattoos/peircings.
Speical effects are often used
Editingis fast paced reflecting the hard, loud and fast music

Foo Fighters is an American alternative rock band formed in Seattle in 1994. It was founded by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the death of Kurt Cobain and the resulting dissolution of his previous band.
