Generic Research: Conventions of music videos

Richard Dyer

Dyer believes that in music videos, artists are presented as commodities, showcasing their ‘start persona” to make money. These artists star in music videos that represent them in ways that will appeal to their target audience, and therefore build their fan base. To adhere to Dyer within my music video, I will make the artist likeable and relatable to encourage the audience to interact with my brand further.

There are 5 areas of music videos that are common conventions and used within the genre regularly. Within my NEA, i will make sure to include as many of these as possible, as these aid in creating a cohesive and conventional music video. 

-       Visuals of a music video should match up with the music and the beat

-       Intertextuality is common to gain value transference from other texts 

-       Visuals of the band singing and playing instruments to build their star persona

-       Visuals of a music video should match up with the music

-       Notions of looking (like through cameras or telescopes)

-       Narrative based
