Genre conventions of Hip Hop music videos

-

 The genre of my music video is that of Hip Hop/rap, so as a result I am going to study videos from other artists in a similar genre. My music video itself is also that of experimental so it will feature both artist performance and narrative.


Eminem-Cleaning out my closet








Joyner Lucas-ADHD 







Logic-1-800-273-8255




All these music videos in the same genre as each other both convey a narrative through both their lyrics and the visuals of the performance of either the actors or the actual artist or both. A typical convention that can be seen in each of these videos is that of close ups of the protagonist of the performance looking distressed and being alone to show how in their world they believe they are the only ones going through this which could be used to imply the idea that the world is out to judge them and get at them, as a result of this i will be sticking to this convention.

Analysis of Black by Dave

Black by Dave Dave was born David Orobosa Omoregie on the 5th of June in 1998 in England to Edo immigrant parents.  The music video itself is a narrative\experimental video as it shows a variety of different scenes where they show different scenarios which when put together tell an overall narrative to the story. The video was released in February of 2019 around the time of major black lives matter movements, the video then became all the more prominent with the murder of George Floyd. The video provides an insight into how it feels like to be black in a modern world society which can be inferred by the lyrics for example, "The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice, a kid dies, the blacker the killer the sweeter the news", this clearly highlights the discrimination that black people face from the media and how they are portrayed within such platforms. The opening title is a simplistic design of which i would like to try and replicate within my own music video. The camerawor

Why study the media

Why study the media The media in our society is ever growing and changing to new horizons and in turn increasing its influence and hold over everyone especially the younger generation of whom are the easiest to influence. Though before we may have received our information and news from somewhat “trustworthy” sources such as newspapers and newsletters however in the growing digital age everyone can now publish their own opinions and sway people to their side which could be good under the right circumstances however like everything it can lead to controversy. I believe we should study the media because of its growing hold over our society. For example, consider the fact that long since gone diseases in our developed cities such as measles have been popping back up because many people believed that the commonly used vaccines would lead to autism despite there being increase in cases of autism due to the vaccines. They believed this because of one article published online eluding t

Plan B-Ill manors analysis Plan B himself was kicked out of school during year 10 where he was sent to a pupil referral unit this is where all those who deemed unsuited to school were sent. In this unit they all had no respect for authority as they had felt ignored by the society that had kicked them out of school and alienated them into a separate unit segregated from other people.This eventually led the kids in the referral unit being, in a sense, raised by the music which they listened to which in the case of Plan B (Ben) led to wanting a career within the musical field which he at first starting singing as he drew influence from Timberlake however he ultimately felt the most comfortable when he was rapping hence why most of his songs are rap songs. The narrative structure is non-linear to show the chaos that is ever presented during their lives living the estates. This can be contributed to fast editing transitions which make the audience feel the tension of their lives. The m
