Heavy Metal is a genre of music which is usually sung in an aggressive and grungy manner with it originating and being most popular in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Camera Work

• The types of camera shots that you will see in a typical Heavy metal music video will vary between lots of close ups on the lead singer or each of the band members or full body shots of the band playing as a collective. Close ups of the band members playing the instruments are also implemented heavily e.g. close up on drummers hands while he/she is playing.
  
  

Editing 

• Overall the editing in heavy metal is very fast paced with a lot of cuts between shots to make it seem violent and aggressive.
