Genre conventions- Industrial/electrronic

Music video productions for the industrial electronic genre do indeed hold a certain set of codes and conventions. In this post I aim to briefly sum up these conventions in bullet points:

• Low key lighting
• Dark or mysterious themes
•  Themes of death, love, sexuality and torment are often present.
• Locations are often dark, grimy or unsanitary.
• Male prominence (in performance)
• Gothic styles

A more detailed look into these conventions can be seen in my vodcast on the subject.
