Codes and Conventions of Pop Genre




Examples of Pop Music Videos:

Ariana Grande - Side To Side ft. Nicki Minaj (2016)



Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl (2016)


The codes and conventions these videos follow:

  • There's a performance section of the video
  • Due to the artists being female there's an opening for the 'male gaze' and therefore the artists are seen in revealing clothes and suggestive dance moves are used 
  • In the fifth harmony video there's a specific narrative structure of the girls being saviors to the people in need and poverty around them
