Music video conventions

Music videos tend to use a range of different camera shots this includes long,meduim and close up shots. These are used to show the artists the different settings and continue the narratives. The camera often follows or tracks the artist during the video. The rise-en-scene of the video depends on the gene of music as this effects the costume,setting, makeup etc of the video and how the performer is presented. Jump cuts are often heavily used in music videos to cut between the different shots. fades and dissolves are also commonly used.
