Traditionally, performance based music videos are done on a stage, and are stereotypical of the rock genre, like 'Bon Jovi'. They often have close ups of the frontman, lead guitarist and other attractive members of the band. Although all members are shown, usually the more good looking ones get more screen time to please their female fans. Also with performance music videos, often the audience are shown, as if to insinuate you are apart of the crowd enjoying the band's live music. This can be seen in the Bon Jovi video I've selected as an example. Because they are from a 'glam-rock' era/genre the band also costumed very flamboyantly, with multi coloured scarfs, very tight fitting patterned trousers and ridiculous jackets. Not every performance video will be dressed like this, but usually there is some form of 'stage outfit' involved.
