Approaching my music video

The next step in create my music video I need to start planning what type of music genre I would like to base my music video around. To do this I need to consider several different genres so that I can always have something to resort to if I’m not able to create my original idea. So I'll look at 2 different genres, then I will explore the area of that genre I’ll create my music video around testing the typical conventions you see in a typical music video.

Ideas for music genre:
Alternative Rock – This type of music genre appeal to teenagers/young adults; another option in the genre of rock, the genre itself is more relaxed. The songs are more toned, and musical based, the songs within the genre focus on emotions people feel within the lyrics and the story that goes with the. It’s a more loved and powerful genre with a wider range of audience.
Dance - this type of music genre can fall between several categories, house, techno, electronic and Drum and bass. As a genre it's becoming increasingly popular for teens and young adults.  This is a type of music can recreate old songs into current hits; this is done through the use of electronic styling. The songs are made from several different beats and tunes that are added together to provide a thrilling tune; however modern dance songs are decreasing in the amount of lyrics within the songs, and the lyrics are mainly used to  indicate when the drop of the music is.

Why these genres? 
Alternative rock music – I chose this because it’s a genre of music that I like to listen to, when researching the genre I found that I liked many of its music videos and that they help inspire me. It’s also is popular genre therefore I feel that I can get people to relate to the type of music video I could create, it also means that there is a bigger audience to reach than some other types of genre.

Dance Music- I chose this because it's becoming increasingly popular and is a genre I already take part in. it’s a genre that you either love or hate and has a variety of different roles within it. When looking at their current music videos I found them to be exiting, thrilling and outstanding in regards to effects. Also because I do Production Arts at school I know how to create projections, lighting effects and displays, sound effects and quality, special effects, pyrotechnics and to create sets. Therefore this type of genre would fit me quite well. I think it’s a fun, diverse music genre which I could have a lot of fun with.
