Music Video Research

My group is doing a music video to the song "Stereo Hearts". This song has been a key part of my childhood, since my uncle would always sing it. 

This song is categorized as a pop-rap song. Pop-Rap music videos show:

-men in the videos are usually wearing either baggy, ghetto type clothes, and woman usually wear something that makes them for appealing/attractive, such as revealing clothing; both genders may sometimes wear expensive clothing or jewelry to show off their richness. For example, in Saweetie's "ICY GRL", she wears expensive-looking clothing and jewelry and in Rae Sremmurd's "Black Beetles", all the men are shown wearing baggy clothes or shirtless.

-props include cars, radios, cigarettes and drinks

-the people in the videos usually appear fierce or emotional, based off of the song topic. For example, Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie" is a more emotional type song and Cardi B's "Bodak Yellow" is very aggressive and fierce.

-the music is very upbeat and the flow of words usually goes well with the flow of the beat; the songs don't seem boring and keep the listener interested. Sometimes the music can be slower or faster, but the flow of the artist singing along wraps it together nicely.

-the editing of the music video depends on the song. Songs that are a little more upbeat and hype and unorganized have edits that also are very fast and messy. Songs that are less hectic have edits that are more organized and are easier for the viewer to keep track of.

-the camera is usually pointing at the artist lip syncing the words of the song. other times it'll show other people drinking, dancing, enjoying themselves
