and television all the time so I
have to listen to it.
                                             I play it around my friends
                                             because its a mutual genre of
                                             music.
 Because it’s usually upbeat and
 good to dance to


                                      It has always been my favourite
                                      genre of music



             Because it’s in the charts a lot and I
             keep up to date with chart music
                                                               Easy to listen to.

     Do you think pop music videos are more directed at males or females, or
                                     both?
Explain why..

Both: Because they want to sell the song to
everyone not just one sex. So they have the pretty
girls and dancey beat for boys and they have the
nice outfits and dances for the girls.


                          Males: Because the females are usually shown in a
                          sexual way to appeal to males.


 Both: Because the music and videos are varied, it
 can appeal to anyone.
If you were to create a pop music video, what
conventions would you include to make it stand out
as a pop music video?
 Indoor/outdoor scenes.


                               Selection of people from all age groups involved.


                Dance moves.

                                          Make a short film for the song.


           Make it unique and stand out
