CODES AND CONVENTIONS 
OF A MUSIC VIDEO.
The Codes and Conventions of a Music Video, are the 
different techniques used to construct meaning and 
themes within the video. The techniques can be 
divided into two types; technical and symbolic.
TECHNICAL. 
This is how meaning is conveyed using any technical 
equipment, such as the way camera angles are used to 
construct different types of shots, how sound is used, 
either diagetic or non-diagetic, and the pace and style 
of editing.
SYMBOLIC 
Symbolic techniques are ways of showing meanings 
beyond what the audience can see, through mis-en-scene; 
which involves props, settings, costumes and 
makeup.
REASONS FOR CODES AND 
CONVENTIONS. 
Codes and conventions are useful for various reasons. 
Primarily, it means that the audience can become 
familiar with a particular genre, and begin to recognise 
different conventions within that particular genre. 
They provide a structure that the audience can 
understand, and also ensure the lyrics of the song fit in 
with the video.
