Our chosen genre

Our genre that we have chosen is 'pop'. We choose this genre because we felt that we can make a more interesting music video and make it more fun. Pop is usually performance based, with frequent lip-sync. The routine is danced based or narrative reflecting the meaning or hidden meaning of the lyrics.
The key elements of our genre is the use of color, lighting and performance. In pop music videos you see, most of them really use color and lighting to make the music video more interesting and more exciting. They often make the performer dance or the center of a band to make it obvious that they are the main artist in the music video. Also the use of color that most music videos use are bright colors like yellow,pink,blue,orange to make it more vibrant and more upbeat. They also use a  range of camera movements like panning fast around them or zooming in and out of the performer. They use different editing techniques also to make it more obvious. We also chose this genre because we all music that has a beat in them. Something that's fast and upbeat. I think that even if we make a mistake  in making our music video, because of the music it will still be interesting and more exciting than using a slow song which can just end up being really boring.

Here are just two examples of famous pop artists:

Rihanna 


Lady Gaga
