Music Video Project: Research Blog Post #1 - Analyzing Conventions

Analyzing Conventions of The Lazy Song's Genre

Reggae-Pop

Camera:  

The camera stayed the same throughout the entire music video, meaning it had no movement, was at an eye-level angle, and remained at a medium shot.

Sound: 

The only sounds were the lyrics and the music's beat.

Editing: 

There was no editing since the entire music video was just one shot.

Mise-en-scene:

The setting was a bedroom meant to signify laziness since it shows everyone staying in their bedroom being lazy. The props were basic, like a chair for Bruno Mars to sit on and a guitar for him to strum. The clothes worn were also pretty basic, with everyone wearing button-down shirts with pants, which they pulled down temporarily to show shorts to match some of the lyrics of the song. The lighting was again natural lighting since it most likely came from a lamp bedroom. The actors are Bruno Mars and 5 backup dancers. Though there was a 7th actor who stepped in, but was soon kicked out, to signify the girl speaking in the song.

CCR #1:  How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues? CCR #1:  Hello, my name is Ryan Jurdi, and this is my answer to CCR #1  and to be creative with this CCR I will be  acting like a newscaster.   First,   let's  start off with  how my project used conventions.  O ne of the  ways I used the conventions of the original  s ong music video is through the setting of where the music video takes place.  In that music video it took place in a bedroom and  similarly  my music video also had parts of it take place in  my  bedroom even though two scenes did take place i n my living room .  Another convention I used was the sound s in my music video since it just  contained  the lyrics and the  music’s  beat which is what the original music video did too.  Now, what conventions did I challenge?
