Pop Music Videos:
Pop music videos assist in the promotion of a song and its singer to a wider audience. Due to the musicians' popularity, the videos usually have a huge budget, allowing them to use professional equipment and special effects, which aid in the creation of a successful music video. Bright colors, vivid make-up, and a variety of objects are frequently used in the videos. The artist is always the center of attention in a pop music video, and he or she is frequently stylized to fit a specific star image. Pop music videos are primarily built on a performance, but they frequently include a narrative. Choreography including additional dancers is becoming increasingly common in mainstream music videos. This is done to help familiarize the music and increase its popularity, as shown with 'Gangnam Style' and 'Macarena.' Furthermore, they frequently convey a cheerful and upbeat attitude.
Hip Hop and R'n'B Music Videos:
As the genre has grown in popularity, Hip Hop and R'n'B music videos use many of the same conventions as Pop music videos. The star image of hip hop and R&B performers is reflected in the music videos. The videos frequently convey the impression that the artist is wealthy and can afford luxuries, which is reflected in their attire. They are frequently photographed wearing high-end designer attire as well as jewelry such as gold chains and diamonds. Women in music videos are depicted wearing either very little clothing or very tight attire that reveals a lot of their figure. 'Drop It Like It's Hot' and 'Yeah!' are two examples.
Rock Music Videos:
Rock music videos are mainly focused on the band or artist, and what can be seen and the words don't always link or match, but the video is edited to be in time with the music. For example, 'We Are The Champions' and 'Little Monster' are both built on a live performance with little plot. The vocalist, who sings the song's words, and the band, who play the instruments, are frequently included in music videos.
Indie/Alternative Music Videos:
Indie/Alternative artists are more concerned with making music than with projecting an image, which is reflected in their music videos. The Indie/Alternative genre is gaining popularity, which implies it is reaching a larger audience. The majority of music videos are a mix of narrative and performance. They're growing more intriguing and original, focusing on narratives like social realism and incorporating eye-catching visual effects. 'King City' and 'Down' are two examples of indie/alternative music videos that use these topics.
