In what ways does you media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Through thorough research of my genre, I came to the conclusion that the majority of rock/metal videos include these conventions:

-Band members playing instruments.
-Fast paced music.
-Band members doing a lot of "head banging" and upper body movement.
-They have a lead singer, that doesn't always have an instrument but can do.
-Videos often have low key lighting and feature a lot of red.
-Narratives often feature a love story but this may be shown in a less romantic way, possibly being more violent.

My video includes these conventions, as the images below show the low key lighting, the male band members playing instruments, as well as shots that focus on the singer.
