Evaluation Question 1 Planning

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media texts?

Having done some more research on my artist, it has become apparent that finding a set music genre for my song which I used for my music video is difficult. Some say that it is in the R&B genre, and others say dance. From conventions that I have looked at during my research I believe that it fits in more with the dance genre and it uses more conventions of the dance genre. I have collected some research on conventions of the dance music genre and also some on the R&B genre, therefore I can now look over my research and see which one it conforms to the most. Then in the next post I will describe how the music video, magazine advert and digipak uses develops and challenges the conventions of real media texts.  

I believe that from the research I have found, I believe that my products use, develop and also challenge more of the R&B conventions of a music video. This demonstrates that in the music industry it is hard to actually pin down what genre music videos are, as not all have a music videos have a clear genre.
