Generic conventions of music videos.

The main conventions of a music video would be the editing part of cutting fast, the cuts would be no longer than 10 seconds.
Some other extra conventions would be something like dancing, however not in all videos. There are other conventions such as performance which there are dancing as mentione before, singing and sometimes artists who play instruments then occationally
you see them with an instrument. Also the costumes would differ according to the genre. For example in R&B/Rap music videos the costumes worn would be baggy clothes, jeans and heavy jewellery. However in Rock music videos the costumes would be like skiny jeans and leather jackets e.c.t... They also would probably be holding an instrument like an electrical guitar.

  1. that doesn't make sense shamima. MOST videos, especially those you see on MTV fit the conventions of their genre. Think, for example, of the difference between an RnB video and a guitar rock video. They each follow a set of established codes set by the videos that came before them.
