A convention that i have identified is that in nearly all of there videos the band members are dressing in comical costume such as the ones seen in 'Long Road to Ruin', 'Everlong', 'Low' and Learn to Fly' The costumes always relate to the narrative of the video and help to both amuse and attract the viewer.

The attention to detail in alot of the foo fighters videos help to make the video more surreal and create this alternative reality in which the whole band appear as one or several different characters each. This convention of elaborate Mise-en-scene, costume and props, will have to be recreated if viewers are to recognize the video as a foo fighters video.
The band also have the convention of using shot of instruments and whole band shots. One of the things that people associate most with the foo fighters is the quality of their live performances and including part these performances really helps to show the bands identity and talent.
