Why I Chose my Tracks for my Music Videos



The songs I chose for a music video plan are all from the R&B genre. This is because it is my favourite genre of music. Additionally, I've noticed trends over the past years of students' music videos, and most use Indie and Alternative genres for their music videos. Therefore, I wanted to choose a genre that is not often chosen; furthermore, the genre was more prominent in the 90's and early 2000's, thus people now, would be less familiar with the songs of this genre.

I also like the genre because the lyrics tend to describe a narrative, which gives alot of options when thinking of the music video concept; you can either go on a more literal route and describe the story or you can adapt it into a more abstract piece. 

I am also a big fan of 90's and early 2000's music videos, and in my concept's there are evident inspirations from this era in music videos. I would like to incorporate classic visual elements synonymous with this age in music (such as choreographed dance sequences), however update them for a more contemporary audience.




This is a compilation of 90's music videos, I would like to include the style and visual elements of 90's music videos into my A2 music videos.
