   With the genre`s in the music industry, what they tend to do is have their  own characteristics, for example passenger – let her go, in this music video we can see that he is an alternative artist, the reason why is because the music video we can see the narrative is a performance based, and we can also see the various instruments on the stage, and his music slow, smooth and cool, but when we usually see certain genre`s such as rock have a performance based music video they tend to have a relationship between the music and visuals, and the music is very up beating meaning that the editing would be very fast as well, for example Kelly Clarkson - since U Been Gone, in this music video it strongly shows the characteristics of the rock genre, the reason why is because we can see the performance based and the the relationship with visuals, and the lighting reflects the mood of the genre in  the parts where she is in a different rooms, and also when she was on stage doing the music video as a performance.
   
   

   
   

   In the pop genre the conventional key elements that you`ll pick up to immediately see that  the specific music video belongs in the pop genre is star image motifs, the costumes that rihanna wears in this music video straight away put her as the center of attention which is shown frequently because of the close ups  in this music video Where Have you been, we  can also see the  a lot of dancing which meant the narrative is a performance based and is very conventional to the pop genre,   

   
   

   
    Sub Genres
   
   
   

   sub genre are two music genres mixed tougher for example Musicians that are known for producing music like this is people like Sean Paul, Michael Jackson, Rudemental , Rihanna and Tiesto, these artist are know for having most genres turn mainstream because they have thought out side the box by combing to genres tougher for example Rihanna  and Sean Paul brought a reggae/dance hall thing into the mainstream, and which got these two artist to stand out more than all artist categorized in their genre, the songs that put them out there was  Rihanna - Pon de reply and Sean Paul - We Burnin. The reason why i have named theses artist s is because  they have mixed two genre and have gotten very popular in the music industry, which is good for promotions.

   
   
   
   
   
   You also get some sub genres artist  that have a massive mix on the mainstream culture between the baisc genres that we know of today,rock and hip hop, or hip hop, rap and rock. The artist that I feel who had the most sub genre`s would be Michael Jackson because he never stick to one genre,  for example Michael Jackson Bad this music video is a sub-genre the genre`s  that this contains is Dance, Pop, and funk.
   
   
   

   
   I`ve understood the Music genres and how do certain artist immediately get put into genre`s  also i`ve analyzed the characteristics which the different types of genres  have in their music videos, which i`ll have to take in to consideration about my music video and if i want the song to be a sub genre or not.
