Classic genre and conventions




There are many music videos that are similar and many other ones that are completely different as they consist on different conventions
Rock music: the typical conventions of rock music consist on mise en scene such as dark lighting, dark make up and consists on many different musical instruments such as guitar and drums etc. This is similar to indie music as they consist of many different instrumentals and consists on some sort of performance element. The differences between indie music and rock music is that indie music usually consists on a specific concept. This puts indie music videos in the performance and concept factors specifically.
Pop music consists on many different conventions such as it being up beat and being consistent of dance routines and bright costumes and bright lighting. It also consists on fast passed cuts and tends to be concept videos but people would argue that adding dance routines shows aspects of performance.
These are the main genre groups tend to base there project around but my group decided to go with hip hop to challenge the typical genres chosen.
