Glam Rock- Carrie by Europe is a very stereotypical glam rock song. The music video reflects this by the fact that its completely performance based with no narrative. The shots consist of long shots and slow zoom ins, this lets the camera show of there outfits and adds emotion to the song there performing. The video also uses basic editing techniques, for example when the guitarist is copied across the screen.
psychedelic Rock- Another brick in the wall by Pink Floyd is a completely narrative video. It starts with an intro before the song starts and ends with an outro after the piece. It also breaks in the middle of the song to add more Narrative. According to Andrew Goodwin's theory this video would be an illustrated one as the story it tells has a beginning, middle and end.
Hip Hop- Headlights by Eminem is all about his relationship with his mum growing up, as this song is quite emotional the video breaks the codes and conventions of a stereotypical hip hop video. There's not a big group of people in any of the shots, no male gaze and no perfomance. Instead the video is shot from a first person perspective creating more personal shots so you can relate to the song on a deeper level.
Folk- You don't know how it feels is a song by Tom Petty a mainly folk singer. The music video produced with this song reflects the folk style with it being a performance based video. The camera focuses on Tom throughout the entire video meaning we can see his costume, a very plain and simple one suitable for the genre. There is also a lot going on in the background all involving the country side and farms/ranches. This creates a mise en scene that reflects the genre put forward.
Hard Rock- Like the previous video, Pretender by Foo Fighters, is very stereotypical to its genre. It is a performance based narrative where the band play in front of riot police. This gives us the connotation of rebellious behaviour, which is what a hard rock band would be like. Furthermore, at the break of the video the police run forward and are forced back by the sudden break in song. This further emphasis there side of rebelliousness. Also the costumes they wear are simple black and white and they have long hair and stubble, again fitting to the genre they represent.
