Codes and Conventions of a music video

Swedish house mafia video and analysis.




Analysing our chosen song video.


The video features several characters being victims of crime. One is sitting in his car when a man comes up, smashes the window and steals his car, another is working in a restaurant when two robbers with baseball bats run in, smash the tip jar, and another is a woman who gets her handbag stolen in the street. A dog sees the woman being mugged and barks, making lots of other dogs come over. While one dog comes over and comforts the woman by licking her, another dog chases after the robber and pushes him through the glass pane at a bus stop. Two more dogs arrive at the shop, and one pulls on the trousers of one of the robbers, the other jumps up and bites the jacket of the robber and slams his head onto the surface top. More dogs chase the man in the stolen car, which flips and crashes the car after swerving to avoid hitting two puppies sitting in the street. The two puppies confront the man in the car, and the woman who was mugged is being comforted by one of the dogs. The video ends showing quick flashing images of the dogs.

Genre presenations


This presenations shows the song pompeii by bastille, it has the genre of deep house.
This presenations shows the song first of the year by skrillex which is a dubstep genre.



We decided to take a look at a few different genres of music so that it would make showing our song easier and help us get a better view on each genre. We made a powerpoint of these as it allowed us to explore a certain song in depth and got the whole group understanding what we will need to be doing for our final song.
