music genre representation video experimentation

How does each sequence show your genre?
The MES in the first scene depicts the genre as it is a corrugated metal background, representing the heavy metal genre. The cinematography of the first sequence focuses on the plucking of the strings, emphasising the "heavy metal" element of the song. The fast pace of the jump cut used in the sequence emphasises the fast and intense pace of the song.
The multi-coloured background in the second sequence emphasises the spectacle around the pop culture of the 1980s (disco, etc.) The mid-shot puts emphasis on the character performing as well as the background. The speeding-up of the fingers clicking demonstrates one of the often used editing techniques used for pop and disco songs, speed changing.
In the third sequence, mid shots are used to show the creative ability of the artist by capturing him playing his instruments. MES is effectively used in this video as the style is different from that of other artists, the blank background being a feature of this artist. Finally, editing is used effectively through the jump cut to show the different style that this indie artist has adopted.
In the last sequence, the dark background suggests the genre of the sequence. MES is a lot apparent in this music video from the dark clothing and actor that is used, giving the overall feeling of the music being dark. Finally, editing is used in this sequence to allow for the music video to come to a swift end with the video ending abruptly.
All of the sequences use berger's theory as they can all be interpreted differently, as different audiences can see them differently. For our music videos, we would most likely use the indie-genre sequence as it is the one that can be used best within a music video.
