Red Hot Chilli Peppers-By The Way
I started to analyse the Red Hot Chilli Pepper's song By The Way because I thought the music video to this song would fit the typical stereotype which people would associate rock bands to be.
At the beginning of the music video they show the artists of the song/members of the band performing live, showing they are passionate about their music and instruments, which is what they want to portray to the audience. By showing them performing live it sends the message that they care about putting on a performance which you wont forget. People in a rock band are seen to be 'obsessed' with their music which comes across obvious when they contain loads of footage of them playing their music to their audience live.
When in the music video the artists are involved as that is one of the conventions of a music video. As they are taking part in it their costume plays a big part in showing the audience what their personality is like. For instance, in this music video, one of the main participant's is dressed quite informal, has a beard, tattoos and smoking. This is what people automatically think of when they think of a rock band. The colour scheme is normally darker colours like black to associate with the music they play. Furthermore they usually have tattoos and piercings to show the 'rebelious' side to them which again is what people think of at first.
