How Rock Music Videos are made

 The song I chose for the music video is Stargazing by the Neighborhood. The Neighborhood is a rock band.

Common things in rock music videos include, a rebellious main character. Usually the main character is very passionate about the song. Through the use of dancing with passion or jumping up and down you can tell that the character likes the song a lot. 

Many different camera techniques are used too. Typically close up shots are used to focus on the main props used. I plan on using some close ups. Wide shots are also used to show the whole setting and everything that is going on. I also plan on using wide shots.

Movements and editing are used heavily. Zooms and jump cuts are used to make everything more fast pace. Jump cuts are  used when there's a story to tell, so I will be using many. Slow-mos may also be used when the song is a slower melody, sometimes to make a montage.

There are 2 main narratives: the story telling one and one where its just the band performing. My music video is going to tell a story.

Props usually are instruments or vehicles. My music video will include a car and driving in one.

Costumes are typically dark clothing with unique hairstyles. The hairstyles were usually done by men and in the 20th century. Makeup is also dark eyeliner most of the time if there is any makeup application. Rock bands always have a signature look, for example: the band Kiss has black leather and funky black and white makeup. The Neighborhood also has a signature look: the lead singer has an alter ego named "Chip Chrome" and wears silver metallic makeup. I may incorporate some silver in the video.

Lighting in rock music videos is usually dark. There may be a spotlight instead. 

Setting can take place anywhere as long as the whole band is together.
