Example 1 of hardcore punk music videos

The screenshot above is of the bassist. It is quite conventional in hardcore music videos to show all of the band members equally because in most hardcore bands, they are not a manufactured product. Hardcore music is             

written by the band for the fans. It also shows all of the band members (both playing their instruments and off the stage, to show that they are like everyone else, just composers and performers) to show the viewers what instrument they play and that they can play it!

The next 2 screenshots are extremely conventional in a hardcore music video. Most hardcore music videos are DIY videos, for example done on tour, old files put together to create a video and other performances.

It is also very conventional of a hardcore band to show a lively show in the video to give the users a sense of what a live show is like. 

The next screenshot is of a crowd at a TUI show. It perfectly explains what hardcore is about. The crowds and listeners are hardcore are reckless and don’t care about the system, and nearly all of the time don’t like the system. They also most of the time are rough, not because of their upbringing but because hardcore music encourages brutality and the aim at a hardcore gig is normally to cause as much trouble as possible. It is also said that hardcore isn’t a music genre, ‘it’s a way of life.’ This is quite a conventional shot as it's showing the hardcore crowd. 

The last screenshot is of a scene in the music video that is quite unconventional. It contains a full band shot which normally isn’t used in a music video. This is because the music video normally contains several band shots on stage. However this isn’t on stage.

This may have been done to show the viewers who TUI are as this video was published when TUI were crossing over from America to England and Europe and were getting larger. 


Throughout the video, the main types of shots that have been used on the musicians are close up shots that have a fast pace of editing to represent the fast pace the song has. 
The camera shots of the crowd aren't edited so that they are quick and they have longer on video. The shots are also done with a wide angle lens to show the whole crowd and the mayhem that is happening. 

For mise en scene, the main things included in the music video are the instruments and the crowd (details in paragraphs above).
