Conventions of Music Promos

There are four basic conventions that all people involved with media know and they are camera work, editing, mise-en-scene and the story itself known as the narrative.

Below, are some examples and explanations of the four different conventions.

Camera work -
In a music video, depending on the genre
 

Generally close up instruments

 & showing how well the band can play (sense of realism), close, up and personal with the video

tracking shots – more exciting,

panning

low angle shots

all band members in the shots

Editing –

Straight cuts

Pace – interested

Transitions – being adventurous and new

Make the audience make it watch more than once

Mise-en-scene -

Performing (band) and the story itself

Props – instruments

Costume – important à genre

Actors/band – to tell the story

Narrative –

A substory that illustrates the lyrics – genre

Showing the instruments vocals/band

Storyboard - Prelim

 

 

 

Front and Rear cover - P!NK

We thought that the front cover should be bold and bright and of course, meaningful the song.

The heart around the fist can suggest that love oversee hate. Listening to the lyrics, it shows that even though she probably still loves him deep down, she is happy to get rid of him and start a new fresh life on her own with no distractions.

Honestly, we didn't have many ideas for the back cover so we thought it would be a good idea to put the lyrics so people could perhaps read along while listening to them.
