Hi,

I am currently studying for a BTEC National Diploma in Media and I have been asked the following question:

What codes and conventions are related to different genres of music in videos?

I am sure you know what the codes and conventions mean (i.e.) camerawork, narrative, clothing - basically typical things that are included in videos.

I was wondering if there was any possibility of you advising me of what codes and conventions there are for say, 3 or 4 different genres of music.

I have picked four that I was going to investigate:

Rap (hip hop)
Heavy metal
Indie Rock
Techno

The above are just really examples, however, if you were kind enough to offer me any advice, whether it be for the above genres or ones of your choice and if there were more or less than four that you gave me advice on I would be very grateful.

I know this is probably a rather unusual request, and I would be very grateful.

Hope to hear from you,

Thanks,

STUDENT X
