Genre Research

Learning Comment:
From carrying out this research I have analysed the way in which genre is represented through mise-en-scene and the narrative and what conventions are typical to this genre.
For example from carrying out the research I have found that the most common narrative themes shown in Pop genres focus around love, parties, friendship and inner conflict.
The costumes tend to be based on modern fashion and trends as this demonstrates to the audience that the artist is up-to-date and popular.
The lighting used in music video tends to alternate between bright coloured lights and high key lighting to create a utopic atmosphere.
