These are the typical conventions of a rock video
The artist and band will usually appear in the video
The song will be the soundtrack through the majority of the video, in some cases their is a short story before the music starts like in ''Walk'' By Foo Fighters.
The artist will often preform throughout the rock video either singing or being a fictional character in the story however this is not a common thing in a rock video.
A rock video will feature 3 or more different locations so that the target audience does not become bored seeing the same stuff. This will usually happen when the verse changes.
The video will feature lots of close ups of the singers face to establish him/her to the audience, close up's of the instruments and finally long shots and mid shots of the band.
The video will always contain a band
It may be a live performance
Costumes will usually be dark/edgy/gritty/urban
