The song that I will be doing for my music video is Sabaton's cover of Camouflage by Stan Ridgeway. Their cover interprets the alt-rock ghost story in the power metal genre. The music video would have to have similar theming and styling as other videos for different songs of the same genre. One thing that most music videos for power metal, or at least Sabaton, songs tend to have in common is the lighting. I've concluded that power metal videos tend to have gloomier lighting. They also can include many different angles and shots. There can be close-ups, POV shots, etc. When it comes to Mis en Scene, it all depends on the song itself. Since the song is war-themed, costumes could include military uniforms. Props would be similar to those of war films. With sound, the main focus will be the song itself, but some background noise can be included.
