On going weekly production diary - What did you notice about the different conventions?

This past week we have been studying the conventions of different music genres. We studied Kings Of Leon, Katy Perry and individually I studied Maroon 5. The genres range from rock, pop to pop rock. As artists they are all very different and their videos range with various themes. We looked into all aspects of the artist; the videos, the lyrics, the background of the artist and the artist itself.  By doing this, I had a better understanding of what conventions fit into each genre. For example,  a rock band would typically include footage of them playing instruments to show of their skills and a pop artist would have lots of bright colours included with a very catchy and memorable song. Learning this on the last week as year 12 allows me to go into year 13 with some knowledge on music genre and conventions.
