Pop-Country Music
Country solely on its own is not the most popular music genre and originally a country artist Taylor Swift has developed her music to combine more pop elements into it so that it stays popular in the charts and gives her a more successful career. The characteristics of this genre combine the traditional side to country with the modern day pop music videos. With Taylor Swift, she combines the elements of dance through acting to the beat of the music and having a narrative based video as well as a traditional country music video which stays 'true to the lyrics' with many performance based scenes but not as many as the rock genre.
The Rock Music Genre
I love how with this genre your ideas can be limitless. The music video itself can have no relation to the lyrics or the song, which is something that I would love to explore as you can be a creative as you like. I also like the idea of the band/artist performing in sections or throughout the video as it gives a real sense of style and personality of the performers.
Pop music
With this genre I am pulled towards it from the upbeat, colourful and dance aspects usually shown in a pop music video. The typical focus on the artist displaying their style is also a key feature that i would love to use in my music video. They aim to appeal to a general audience and not to make their music or music videos specific to one audience, so they have general simple themes usually love or relationships that would effect everyone!
The Genre of music that i would love to focus on in this project is pop-country as it has both elements of performance and narrative that i would love to explore when producing a music video!
As you can probably tell i am a fan of Taylor Swift and love the style and variation she uses in all of her music videos. She focuses on the lyrics a great deal consistently throughout all the music videos and enables the audience to connect more to the song, this is something i would love to achieve when making my music video.
22- Taylor Swift
This being a recent Taylor Swift music video we see a slightly different side to her music videos which stray away from others like Fifteen which are considerably viewed as being a country style, nowadays to stay popular she has broadened her ways and produces a very mixed music video 22. It mainly incorporates a pop style with lots of different sections to a year, pieced together in a random way. I like this approach because it makes the music video interesting to watch and also fits to the emotion of the song.
I love the styling that is used because it is very casual and something that anyone could wear, relatable to the audience and also the locations are very normal in a sense that it feels as if this is where the artist goes and spends time with friends, i love the white wall in the middle of a field (it seems) because it doesn't make it feel professional and clean, it makes it feel more home made, it feels as if you are getting an insight into the 'real' Taylor Swift and her personality. The bright natural light is also something that I would like to use in the making of my music video.
The Band Perry
This band still has the main focus on the country music aspect with traditional performance conventions throughout the music video that I would like to include in my music video. I love the styling of the 'old fashioned country gal' with traditional instruments.
The setting and styling in this music video is something that i would love to use. The pastel colours used is also something that i would love to use in my music video as it isn't too dazzling and fits the genre of music.
The use of traditional intstruments demonstrated in the music video expresses the bands genre and style.
This is a band that i would consider doing a music video for one of there songs.
