Conventions

-Narrative/performance
-fast editing
-extreme close ups
-sepia toned
-colours

Most videos for trip hop are narrative/performance. An example of a trip hop music video is Lana Del Ray ‘summertime sadness’. The video consists with the soul and jazz aspects that you would find associated with trip hop (Trip hop has many different features to it as shown in a previous post). The video is mostly conceptual, but the video is mainly narrative, the difference between this music video and other trip hop music videos is that it goes against some of the conventions that you would expect there to be although the sepia tone is maintained throughout the song, which you would expect there to be in a trip hop music video/song.
