Codes and Conventions

Codes and Conventions


This week we had a lesson and homework time to do a presentation on a music genre on "codes and conventions". 
I have chosen Rap as my genre and I specifically compared female artists e.g.. Nicki Minaj, Fergie

I have done Rap Genre because I feel that I want to come out of my comfort zone and do something different than what I have already know already.

From different research of rap music, it made me realize how rap can shape people and it also represents a group of people who wants to be themselves and be honest.






Here are some other extra conventions that also represent Rap Music:

  • a lot of focus on the artist 
  • the excitement of the music video is all created through facial expressions, camera angles and editing techniques
  • uses simple locations or abandoned locations
  • usually shot with dark lightings and low angle shots --> shows mysteriousness and powerfulness and important when using the two techniques
