Evaluation question 1
what we definitely didn't want to portray although wretch is from the grime background.
- a grime video by giggs
- Very tpical grime just a load of guys with friends making lyrcis at times women may appear
- not really any sort of narrative.
Nelly Feat. Kelly R. - Dilemma by Potitus
- Men engaged in significantly more aggressive and dominant behaviour
- Men represented as independent, adventurous, unemotional and competent
- Stereotypical gendered occupations ( i.e males as firefighters/mechanics women as Cheerleader/Waitress)
- Women engaged in significantly more explicit, sexual and passive behaviour
- Women represented as objects of sexual advances or as eye candy
- Sex role stereotyping sand negative attitudes towards females
- Women more likely to be presented in provocative or revealing clothing
- Women portrayed as decorative objects that dance, pose and do not play instruments
- Reasearch findings not only restricted to the hip hop genre
Technical codes
-lots of two shots can be used to show the two people (Boy and Girl) together
- tracking shots and performance of the artist towards their "lover" in the video is
also generic
Symbolic codes
-interactions with the other model who is playing the part of the lover such as; touching, holding, deep stares into their eyes and a common generic symbolic code is when a male/female holds their partners chin and gazes into their eyes.
Generic conventions
-Objects such as rings, bangles and necklaces's are all generic for a R&B/Hip-Hop video
-Dark colours are often used to portray negative feelings of the artist
-Bright and vibrant colours are used to show the artists positive feelings
-R&B video's tend to be performance and narrative based .
Generic conventions
- Items of Mise en scene such as rings, bangles and necklaces/ expensive jewellery are all generic for an R&B/Hip-Hop video
- Clothing will range from stereotypical attire for the main grime artist, his spouse and other minute characters in the video in order to fit into the conventions of the genre appropriately and aim at our main target audience well. However the costumes will also have a sense of casualness to them, that can illustrate a less intimidating and more sophisticated/ laid back feeling to the performers and the video on a whole, which will be useful to subverting the conventions because of the romantic tone that the video will possess.
- Dark colours are often used to portray negative feelings of the artist (through the grime genre and somewhat stereotypical portrayal of artist from a Marxist perspective)
- Bright and vibrant colours however will also be used to show the artists positive feelings, which will connote well towards the song as it is meant to be positive and uplifting, and therefore also subversive to the genre.
