Characters in rock music videos wear dark, gothic clothing usually this is black. Their hair is always messy and the lead singer/majority of the band have long, dark hair which they use to swish around whilst perfoming to complete their look the band members always have a range of tattoos and piercings on therir bodies and sometimes they even wear make-up such as eyeliner. Rock music videos use lighting to portray the moods of their songs, even though there may be bright lights used the atmosphere tends to be more darker than mainstream videos. Camerawork used in rock music videos isnt very specific to the genre the only difference is that when they are showing a live performance in the video they tend to have close-ups of the instruments which they are playing such as the guitars or the bass pedal.
