The document discusses several common elements of pop music videos including costume, locations, colors, themes, representations of performers, and props. Costumes in pop videos range from casual clothes to outfits themed to the song's story. Locations are typically visually appealing places that seem like warm holiday destinations or are relatable to audiences. Colors in pop videos are usually bright and vibrant unless the song has a sad theme. Common themes portray love stories through the singer expressing feelings to the camera. Performers are generally represented as fun-loving unless a sad song requires a heartbroken portrayal. Props are often used as product placements to advertise to audiences.

1. POP GENRE
AND THEIR MUSIC VIDEOS

2. COSTUME
Usually in pop videos the people tend to wear casual clothes just like the
audience who watch them. However there are certain pop stars who tell stories
with their videos therefore will dress to suit the theme, for example, Taylor swift
in a princess dress as her song is about Romeo and Juliet. Furthermore, pop
videos promote a lot of other products (product placement) in order to gain
more money, therefore that would also affect what popstars wear. To conclude,
there is a wide variety of what popstars wear, there’s not really a specific
category.

3. LOCATIONS
Pop videos tend to take place in nice, warm holiday-like kind of locations which
the audience would be envious of. In other words visually appealing places.
Although some videos do include locations that are a lot more relatable to the
audience. The main thing is they make sure their locations are eye-catching and
memorable.

4. COLOURS
The pop genre is probably most known for having the most colourful videos in
all music. The colours they use are always bright and vibrant, this is only ever
disclosed if it’s a sad song therefore the colour scheme is a lot more
darker/muted.

5. THEMES
The most popular theme of pop music is a love story, its usually about
expressing their feelings for someone either happily or sadly, this is presented as
the singer songs into the camera as if they are talking to the one they love as
well as many dramatic looks further expressing their feelings.

6. REPRESENTATIONS
The performers of the pop genre always represent themselves as fun eccentric
people who don’t have a care in the world, but as said before, this
representation can be altered depending on whether it’s a happy song or a sad
song. If sad, the star will be represented as truly heartbroken and let down like
they have completely given up so the audience can empathise with them.

7. PROPS
Props used within pop genre music videos are usually meant as advertisers to
the audience (product placement) in order to help other companies. The
products that are displayed are usually fashion accessories or popular items
such as converse shoes, selfie sticks or even some of the shirts the stars are
wearing.
