Genre paragraph

Genre is a means of categorising different texts and being able to place them in a particular group based on codes and conventions as well as producer/audience relationships. My A2 production of a music video is generally associated with pop music. The sterotypical convetions with pop music are videos such as Beyonce, this is due to the style of videos which she creates - by this it is followed by the way which she displays herself through editing camera, mise en scene and sound.

 

Essentially, music video is a platform or genre in itself yet what I may classify as a subgenre could be considered as a super genre by others. Therefore genre has no boundaries and by breaking conventions, this can be seen as either raising the threshold of what’s considered generally acceptable or creating a new genre entirely.
