Genre Research

The genre of music I will likely be using for my music video is hip-hop/pop. This is because i believe that this music genre will not limit the ideas I have for creating a music video. For example, both hip hop and pop music can enable me to both fast and slow cuts throughout the video.

Artists that usually fall under these genres are:

Hip-hop:

• Rihanna
• Nicki Minaj
• Jay-Z
• Kanye West
• Iggy Azalea

Pop:

• Ed Sheeran
• Rihanna
• Lady Gaga
• Nicki Minaj
• Beyonce

Both of these genres can easily be related as the artists are able to switch between them within their music and videos which I hope I can in my own music video. 

For example, both videos can easily interpret a scene with:

• Bright lights
• Both busy and quiet scenes
• Will have a strong lead, can be either female or male
• Sexual focus
• Relationships
• Multiple locations to film in
• Can switch to black and white then back to colour throughout the video
• Fast paced
