Conventions of music videos

conventions of music vidoes vary depending on the genre of music, however most music videos show the artists or artists singing in the video. The rest of the video most commonly will follow around the lyrics however from my research i have found out that artists do know generally follow lyrics word for word. The music tempo often drives the editing, for example if the song has a fast tempo then the cuts tend to be faster but if the song is slower the cuts will be shorter and be slow. The clothes that the artists wear tend to relfect the mood and genre of the music for example in foo fighters videos, the band tend to wear clothes that most punk rock bands would wear like dark coloured clothes, leather jackets. As I am studying Neo- Pyschedelia the clothing and mise- en scence, themes and performance must reflect this.
