Notes on Genre

Girls Aloud : 'Somthing kinda ooh'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy3SV2fvoG8
The genre of this music video is pop, as a girl group there is an obvious attraction from the female sex relating to the performance side of the song. The idea that teenage girls use them as a role model and look up to them. However, it also attracts the male sex because of the sexual gestures combined with close ups on specific body features, this means that the males watch the video and fantasise.

Muse: 'Super Massive Black Hole'
The genre of this music video we decided was indie/ rock, with a abstract and different video the attention is drawn mainly to the performance side that you would usually expect to see for example playing guitars, drums and singing. The idea or concept of 'Cock Rock' really fits this video drawing the attention from the female audience as well as the male. However, many opinions can argue that this music video is art.




The Street: 'When You Wasn't famous'

The Genre of this video is Rap/R&B, this was a cheap video made purely about the acts of one man. This means that the video has to be purely about performance of the man, this means no shots of instruments but of lip singing. However, this also leaves a place for narrative. This goes with the stereotype of rap and makes people able to relate to the natural setting/ making it feel like real life. this will draw in a specific  audience but perhaps not be as wide as others.
