ROCK Comparison 2.A

In nirvana come as you are the music consists of depictions of the main artist swinging from a chandler and his house is flooding all around him. There is a dog with a anti scratch color and a very grainy transition between the artist and the dog.
In the start of the video there is a gun sinking to the bottom of the sea and in his lyrics he is describing how he does not have a gun.
This music video clearly uses rock conventions due to the grainy content which is shown in the video.
This music video has a link between the visuals and the lyrics as the character the main artist is shown lip syncing in the music video. this is because of the amplification that is used in the video the reason this is hyper real or been amplified is because in this video his house is flooding around him which shows some symbolism to what is actually happening to him.


Arctic Monkeys Do I wanna Know: This is different to nirvanas song in many different ways firstly this music video does not feature the artist were as the nirvana track does this makes the nirvana video more real but the arctic monkeys video extremely hyper real. The arctic monkeys video is also completely animated were as the nirvana one is not.

In the arctic monkeys video it does not have lip syncing were as the Nirvana video does have lip syncing this makes the nirvana not only narrative but it is also slightly performance. Arctic monkeys video is left to the viewers to decipher for themselves.

Although the narrative is confusing and a bit difficult to follow we can still work out from the visuals and the lyrics that this is a story about romance between a pair who care about each other were as the other videos are completely different this video depicts a story where the Nirvana Visuals try to tell you the story and this has no similarity's to Metallica as Metallica is actually a sub genre of rock music and they normally consist of live performance videos.


Metallica Hardwired: In this track it is completely different to the previous two were it uses just a performance this video is just to advertise the band in a live performance so that people will buy tickets to see a live concert. This music video also shows them screaming and there is also a flashing transition to make the mood seem intense for the audience.

This music video is clearly using the typical rock conventions as in the video you can see them with guitars and drum kits playing live. In other rock songs they still might follow some sort of narrative but will normally be composed of guitars and a strong use of instruments being used. This is a heavy rock genre and the reason this is, is because of the song and the lyrics but like I mentioned before the intensity of the actual video.

This is not similar to the arctic monkeys as this does not consist of a romantic animated narrative it is just a heavy metal performances this slightly similar to Nirvanas track as they both use strong uses of lip syncing in each video the only differences are that Nirvanas track is more of a performance narrative were as the Metallica track is just pure performance to advertise them in a live performance and get more money.
