2. Pop
The audience of a pop magazine would expect to see
bright, neon colours as soon as they open the content page.
Magazines like, Top of the Pops and We heart Pop, both
accentuate the feminine atmosphere by including these
features on the front page.
3. Pop
From the pop music video I have seen, I can confirm that each
convention links to this genre through the use of common
dress, speech and colour. Each member is dressed differently
from one another but all have an item that links the group
together, for example JLS are a trendy and inspire others to dress
similar to them.
4. Pop
They would be photographed in stances that make them appear
on-trend and incorporate dance moves that appeal to young
girls. Often enough the girls wear revealing clothing, get
objectified and draw themselves around many males for
attention, the strobe lights enhance the ‘club’ like atmosphere
they are trying to portray and by using high pitch voices makes
them appear sensitive.
5. Rap
Similarly to pop, rap uses young women as a status symbol
within the industry, they use females to dance inappropriately
on screen to gain views. Although within this genre, they use
girls in multiples and like to have a ‘pimp’ title.
The use of colour that is linked to rap in particular are grey
tones, this is a visual for what you expect to see their
location, dress and persona links. The harsh reality of ‘life on
the streets’ makes them use profanities, explicit language and
un-educated terminology.
6. Rap
They can be mislead at a young age that has left them to feel
vulnerable, in order to not appear or feel like a ‘victim’ to others
within society, they mask their emotions and use it creativity
through the use of lyrics. Although some people don’t agree with
what they say, they gain a large fan base with predominantly
young boys.
7. Dance
The audience of a dance magazine would expect to see neutral
colours, e.g. white/black, this suggests that it set for a mature person
from the age of 40+.
The common dress for someone within a dance category would
include items such a glasses, hats and polo neck jumpers, this could be
linked to the maturity of those. Reading shows intelligence and with
the assistance of glasses, shows the progression of age.
Most of the headings don’t stand out and appear dull on the page, the
little use of colour they do include could be for both male and female
audience.
8. Hip-Hop
From the Hip-Hop music videos I
have viewed, they have similar
stereotypes and conventions of
the ‘Rap’ genre.
The establishing difference
would be that, in Hip-Hop they
appear to be more educated
with what they are speaking
about and only show material
wealth - hidden emotions.
In Hip-Hop the audience would
expect to see a diverse range of
cultures and genders.
9. Classical
The audience of a Classical
magazine would expect to see a
publication with more textual
information about the
feature, than to be surrounded
by imagery.
This may do with the fact they
are at a matured age of their life
and have a serious interest in
harmonious music.
They are suggested to be well
spoken and of a high reading
level.
10. ROCK
Usually ‘Rock’ is the genre that people feel most on edge
about, it suggests primarily that it is middle-age men who, like to
rebel or endorse in loud activity, that would only be of interest.
They commonly dress in dark, contrasting colours, e.g. black with
some white, to give a hard hitting edge to their image and can
often appear threatening or scary.
These are shown to be the most passionate about their work and
their audience use them as a God-like figure.
