Preliminary research

 At the start of my project in class we did research on a variety of genres 

   

Song, Artist	Genre/ Genre Conventions of music videos	What issue/social group was being represented? How was it being represented?	What did you like/dislike about the music video?
Dunia tipu tipu by Yura Yunita 2021	Indonesian Pop - Possible actors are Indonesian -Indonesian language -Indonesian Instruments -Indonesian flag	Relationships , love, family. Comfortable setting Light colors Pillows Lady singing while smiling, long shot Children Representing old people Representing teens Indonesians Muslims, Indonesian language	The concept of the video
t was by Harry Styles 2022	Pop English Colors Happy	Love relationships ( hardship) Shown by the long shot from above of the guy trying to chase the girl but the platform keeps on rotating making it hard for the guy to chase the girl. Seperation	I understand the concept but I feel like they did too much. Looks too colorful for a sad type realtionship
Jamie T- zombie 2014	Indie Low budget Mostly focused on Bands	Zombies The makeup used Human body parts Expressions People in the bar The drinks used	I liked the concept, I found it funny as they started looking like normal humans but then they slowly turn into zombies. Same camera angles made it boring
Blinding Lights by The Weekend 2020	RnB Romance	Relationship of woman Long shot of him being attracted by a woman Violence’ Fast camera cuts Blood Injuries Masculinity Color red Fast car Very active Many actions	I liked the driving scenes, it really shows the masculinity in him especially when he smokes as well.
Now and then by The Beatles 2023	Rock -Guitar -Drums - Leather jackets - Black -Loud	Friendships Clips shown are most of them together enjoying their time Losing people Memory flashbacks using videos	I liked the way the use AI to recreate the missing people, eventhough its fake it creates a deeper meaning that they have always been together. It makes it more emotional and adds more sympathy to the scenes

This was a task that my teacher gave to us to give an introduction about music genres. We listed out the  conventions and things we like/dont like about the video. This research has helped us choose which genre we were going to pick. Eventhough in my opinion its not as influencial as the genre research, this took a couple of days to figure out but in the end we chose Indie as our genre. In my opinon this research was helpful for our team as it gives a brief introduction to each genre which allows to brainstorm a few ideas before choosing a definite decision.
