The example I'm using for the unconventional style of music video is
'Laura Palmer' by
'Bastille'. The reason this music video is unconventrional is because the genre Bastille perform in is Pop/AlternativeRock, and if you watched the music video without sound you'd be quite suprised due to the fact its unlike most music videos. They relate strongly to the style of Michael Jackson and his version of Thriller as its hugely based on weird happenings in the world. however whereas Michael Jackson was strong for zombies and creepy people, Bastille have used people in masks to try and kidnap Dan who is the lead singer of Bastille in the music video. This is strange as the music video created is to the topic of them actually in the process of making the video and also when they are preparing before and joking about. they are just casually around in the camp where they are preparing to film when the lead singer is taken by these people dressed as monsters and the music producers are made to act worried and in a panic to find him which isnt what you'd expect from this Genre of music. Whilst the music still has pop features it does relate to the video as its made to sound fast upbeat and slightly scary aswell.
Half way through the video it cuts away just to a homemade video which you can tell from the screen shots, of a dog barking and howling which is extremely uncommon and out of context with the rest of the video as the song just stops and its a clip of a dog to frighten the viewer.
