My Genre of Music Video

There are many types of music video to go with the genre of music. For example there is pop, hip-hop, rap and heavy metal. All of these types of music come with a stereotypical image. For example when you think of hip-hop music the video that would automatically come to mind would include dancing, bright colours, typically black males and women used to represent a sexual image.

I am working with someone to create my own music video, we have researched different types of music that we would like to create a music video to.

We have decided that we want to create a pop video. There are key conventions of a pop video such as, dancing, action shots of dancing, groups of people, and the music is generally music that people get up and dance to. Some examples of pop music would be Michael Jackson: Black or White, Irene Cara: Fame, Bill Medley: I Had the Time of My Life and more modern music such as Kelly Clarkson: Dark Side, or JLS: Beat Again.
