Secondly I have looked at the ‘rock’ music video of Kings & Queens by 30 Seconds to Mars.
In this video I believe that the cinematography is beautiful yet each frame is put together in a simple way. In each shot the subjects in the frame are always central, putting the main focus on them if that were a close up or a long shot, even a track shot like in frame 6. Also, I like how some shots like 5 and 11, are close ups but are angled from the side, I feel that this links well to the genre of ‘rock’ as you can’t really see the performer and it makes them a lot more mysterious when they perform.
Linking to the idea that ‘rock’ performances are mysterious, I believe that the lighting used in the video works well to create mystery. The colour of reds, greens, yellows and blues almost ease the viewer suggesting that this video isn’t a full on ‘rock’ mad video but is a good song to listen too. Like before, in this video you can’t really see the performers faces or what they are wearing emphasising the idea of mystery. Although, in shot 8 the viewer is able to see the lead singers face almost to reassure them that it’s ok.
Differently in this video the performer is not always lip-synching, as they show a bunch of people riding bikes, this breaks up the location setting as throughout the video the band is performing looking out to the city and then you follow a bike with lots people through the city towards the pier, which is the last shot number 12.

Also, when you do see the band performing they all look comfortable and clam, as if they know what they are doing like they do it everyday. Like in the other ‘rock’ video the performers don’t change their costumes, probably to make it more realistic for the viewer like they are not fancy, just kept it real.The editing style for this certain ’rock’ video is continuity as the viewer see’s a bike ride through a city, with many different stereotypes like punk and posh people, this suggests that the band are trying to get across a message that everyone can come together and be as one, especially when it involves the music.
Overall, this ‘rock’ video does stick to a stereotypical genre of ‘rock', with the dark lighting and the band performing together with their instruments. Although, it changes as the lighting colours are bright with reds, yellows and greens, and they also send out a message that everyone can come together as one.
