In terms of cinematography, the main goal is to show of 'musicianship' of the rock band so for example close up shots will be used to show the individual artists playing their instruments; therefore showcasing their musical talent. Wide shots are also used to fully show the band and their performance as a whole band. This has been done is past times and in present day bands.
In terms of the editing of the videos, shots are cut in beat with the drums or guitar rhythm since rock/alternative rock music is usually fast paced.
In terms of mise-en-scene the artists usually wear casual clothing, especially the artists now and the video is usually shot in a performance setting rather than narrative. Therefore stage lighting is used as well as practical effects such as dry ice.
The rock band 'Foo Fighters' commonly have performance music videos and the song 'The Pretender' is an example of this.
