Conventions Of Alternative Rock

Similar to Star Image, alternative rock bands tend to have various conventions that are common to this genre.


Performance
In Alternative Rock the bands/acts tend to usually play in a full band with all instruments to make it seem to the viewers and audience that they are playing live.

Examples: 
Rise against - Make It Stop // Bring Me The Horizon - Drown

MAKE IT STOP VIDEO // DROWN VIDEO

Clothing
Tend to wear most of the time casual clothing, but if they wish due to being a organic act bands can have the freedom to wear outfits if they want to.

Examples: 
Yellowcard - Here I Am Alive & All Time Low - I Feel Like Dancin'

HERE I AM ALIVE VIDEO // I FEEL LIKE DANCIN' VIDEO

Colours
In Alternative Rock video's they use much darker colours in their video's such as black, grey and dark blues, more frequently than other genre types such as pop music where the colours are much brighter.

Example: 
Arctic Monkeys - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?

Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High? VIDEO

Lighting

In Alternative rock music video's they tend to use the natural lighting or make the lighting much darker than the natural lighting. This helps gives it a much darker mysterious feel to the video.

Examples: 
Mallory Knox - Shout At The Moon // Linkin Park - Numb

SHOUT AT THE MOON VIDEO // NUMB VIDEO
