The first video is called "Existo Vulgore" by Death Metal band "Morbid Angel". As for a death metal band you would expect a typical video to contain:
- large ammounts of performance footage
- long haired "moshers" headbanging in beat with the song
- editing is very fast pace and matches the beat of the song.
- dark lighting
In this case, the video challenges these conventions and instead has:
- very long takes
- has a silent movie theme to it
- contains titles at the start like an old movie
- black + white
- blurred effects
- still has performance
This next video is called Ohne Dich (Without You) by Industrial metal band Rammstein. For a music video from this genre we would expect to see:
- dark lighting
- performance
- violence
- sexual themes
Instead with this music video we get:
- the entire video is narrative
- almost no performance (only a few lines lip synced)
- bright and vibrant locations
- violence (but not in the typical way of the genre)
