This is for my A level media studies.

2. GENRE SELECTION
The Genre of Music that I have chosen for my music
video is Pop-Rock it is a type of genre which mixes
a catchy pop style and light lyrics in its (typically)
guitar-based rock songs.
Example of Pop Rock singers are Justin Timberlake,
Adele, Linkin park, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and the
most common Michael Jackson.

3. POP ROCK
Much pop and rock music has been very similar in
sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content.
The terms "pop-rock" and "power pop" have been
used to describe more commercially successful
music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock
music. Pop-rock has been defined as an "upbeat
variety of rock music represented by artists such as
Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Everly Brothers,
Rod Stewart, Chicago, and Peter Frampton."

4. POP
Pop music lyrics address a myriad of themes and
include references to race, sex, violence, drug
use,and Satan, or they may contain objectionable
language. Pop music reaches a larger audience
than either heavy metal or rap music does.

5. ROCK
Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love
but also address a wide variety of other themes that
are frequently social or political in emphasis. The
dominance of rock by white, male musicians has
been seen as one of the key factors shaping the
themes explored in rock music. Rock Music
emphasis on musicianship, live performance, and
an ideology of authenticity than pop music.

6. OTHER TYPE OF GENRE
Different other types which comes in the same genre
are:
Power Pop
Pop Punk
Indie Pop
Soft Rock

7. POWER POP
The term power pop was coined by Pete
Townshend of The Who in 1966, but not much used
until it was applied to bands like Bad finger in the
1970s, who proved some of the most commercially
successful of the period. Power pop has been
described as mixture of hard rock and melodic pop
music. Power pop tends to be more aggressive
than pop rock.

8. POP PUNK
All Music describes pop punk as a strand of
alternative rock that typically merges pop melodies
with speedy punk rock tempos, chord changes and
loud guitars. About.com has described second-
wave pop punk bands as having "a radio friendly
sheen to their music, but still maintaining much of
the speed and attitude of classic punk rock"

9. INDIE POP
The birth of indie pop was from post-punk
explosion in limited-circulation photocopied
fanzines, and small shop-based record labels. The
publication in Record Business magazine of the
first weekly indie singles and album charts and the
adoption of such charts in the UK music press
stimulated activity. For this the British musical
weekly New Musical Express released an era-
defining compilation cassette called C81. This
cassette featured a wide range of groups, reflecting
the different approaches of the immediate post-
punk era.

10. SOFT ROCK
Soft rock or light rock is a style of music which uses
the techniques of rock music (often combined with
elements from folk rock) to compose a softer, more
toned-down sound.

11. MY SONG
The Song on which my music video is based own is of
Sameer Hassan, he is my brother and likes to sing

Parveen. His favourite songs are My Confession"

16. Michael Joseph Jackson (August
29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was
an American singer,
songwriter, record producer,
dancer, and actor. Called the
King of Pop, his contributions
to music and dance, along with
his publicized personal life,
made him a global figure in
popular culture for over four
decades.

17. Jackson had been influenced
by the work of musicians such
as Little Richard, James Brown,
Jackie Wilson, Diana Ross, Fred
Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr. ,Gene
Kelly, David Ruffin, the Isley
Brothers, the Bee Gees, and the
West Side Story dancers, to
whom he made a tribute in "Beat
It" and in the "Bad" video.
MICHAEL JACKSON

18. Unlike many artists, Jackson did not write his
songs on paper. Instead he would dictate into a
sound recorder, and when recording he would sing
the lyrics from memory. In most of his songs, such
as "Billie Jean", "Who Is It", and "Tabloid Junkie",
he would beatbox and imitate the instruments using
his voice instead of playing the actual instruments,
along with other sounds. Jackson noted that it is
easier to sing a drum line, or sing a bass, instead
of playing a drum line or a bass with an instrument.
