Four texts which are of similar genre or form to our music video.

Analysis :


Song: Matt Cardle - When We Collide. Performance and Narrative.
Genre Theory: Macro Genres
How It Links To My Music Video: It involves a narrative and a performance in which me and my partner wish to include in our music video.
Analysis: This music video is a Hybrid Genre containing both elements of performance and narrative. The narrative can be seen cut in and out throughout as we follow matts journey through the x factor and how he got to where he was. We also see him singing on a stage with no-one else but him and his guitar which is what signify's him as a person. This fits in within macro genre theory's as 2 of the 4 possible options creating macro genres (being narrative, performance, experimental and animation) are involved within the piece.


Song : Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) Performance And Narrative
Genre Theory : Macro Genres
How It Links To My Music Video : Last Friday Night consists of narrative and performance just like my music video,
Analysis : This Hybrid Genre contains elements of performance and narrative within it. The performance element is seen when Katy and her friends are drunk and dancing to music as well as when she's singing at the beginning "theres a stranger in my bed" whilst sitting on her bed after partying the night before at 0:57 seconds in, however the narrative develops throughout as we see her knock on her next door neighbours house and enters the party, we then go on to see get drunk and bring everyone back to her house, this narrative takes us across a series of events which slowly become apparent throughout the media text. The use of narrative and performance has allowed me to analyse the media text within terms of macro genres as narrative, performance, experimental and animation come together to create macro genres on a whole and narrative and performance are a big part of the majority of music videos and in particular my music genre of Drum and Bass.
