ROCK GENRE RESEARCH

Editing the video to black and white is a stereotypical convention of a rock genre music video. In this video it creates impact as the harsh lighting and visual effects in the background are

striking, bright and strong. The band members (in this screenshot ‘the edge’) are dressed fully in black.

The screenshot below features main vocalist Bono singing with an illuminated microphone. The bright lighting is influential in hiding Bono

with a shadow – creating depth and mystery – common in rock genre music videos.
