Conventions of an Acoustic Rock music video
Shots of the artist singing and or playing his instrument or playing a performance as a band
The locations are usually isolated lonely places like woods or abandoned warehouses, the locations can also represent people they are singing about
Often times there is a storyline going alongside the artist shots, this can relate to the song, or it could be totally random
The camera movements and shot types help to build up certain effects that go hand in hand with the song, for example a slow song will have slow cuts and slow long panning shots, this reinforces the feel of the song, and can also be used to make it more sad. Whereas fast paced shots create a sense of tension and wildness.
A very good example of an acoustic music video, is guns n roses patience. The video shows performance based shots of the band recording the song in a studio, with a romantic story running alongside it, which is set in a hotel. Then the long slow panning shots really help to bring out the sincerity and emotion of the song. Of course, there is also a shot of the all important guitar solo, which is key to the genre of rock and acoustic rock.
