Codes & Conventions of Funk Metal

For our class presentation I looked at 4 videos by 4 different bands within the funk metal genre, these were:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Can't Stop'

Primus - 'Over the Falls'

Faith No More - 'Ashes to Ashes'

 

Infectious Grooves - 'Therapy' 

This is the presentation i presented to the class:

From these i found that common aspects found in each video are:

• The visuals are often concept based, not necessarily around the lyrics, within these videos the concepts appear to be quite abstract.
• There is often some performance scenes, and this is often without any audience present.
• The main focus of the video is often the front man, shots of other band members are also used.
• The budget appears to be quite high in most of the videos I viewed.
• CGI is often used
