Song, Artist	Genre/ Genre Conventions of music videos	What issue/social group was being represented? How was it being represented?	What did you like/dislike about the music video?
Yura Yunita - Dunia Tipu Tipu (2021)	Indonesian Pop Lower production budget than Western productions Features more of Indonesian culture than western culture	Relationships, love, bonds Represented positively by showing the strength of the bonds between different kinds of relationships. Close ups when people started getting emotional but pulls away when it gets more private Mise en scene with pillows make it appear cosier which connotes love Simple clothes for the people shown in the videos may be suggesting that love also is a simple thing	Like: The simplicity of the music video but still able to effectively communicate a message (close ups when they start getting emotional) Cosy mise en scene to emphasise love Dislikes: The artist herself is not shown as much which I personally don’t mind but fans may prefer to see the artist more
Harry Styles - As It Was	Pop Higher budget A lot of vibrant colours	Romantic love: Harry himself is wearing bright red colours vs his partner wearing a bright blue which are complementary colours, shown as complicated bc of the dependency on each other but the partner moving on Masculinity: Although the music video wasn’t related to gender, Harry Styles represents himself, a man, as wearing both masculine and feminine associated fashion which breaks gender roles/stereotypes	Likes: I like the mise-en-scene’s usage of complementary colours. It’s also notable that the other actors shown dont wear red/blue but earthy colours which makes harry and the other model to stand out more Dislikes: It’s very high budget so not realistic for students to do something similar
Jamie T - Zombie	Indie A more ‘homemade’ low quality feel Usually ‘softer’ visuals (lighter cooler colours) Low budget More focus on the band	The band (zombies): The band here is shown as zombies. They’re shown as very gorey and lifeless through mise-en-scene but not really cared about by the other actors in the scene as they just carry on as if it was normal. A lot of closeups to the gore when it started being more gorey.	Likes: I like the subtle shift from the band being seemingly more human to become really gorey after Dislikes: Although this is a convention of indie music, I don’t like how much it focuses on exclusively the band Doesn’t seem to have a strong message that is trying to be communicated to the audience
The Weekend - Blinding Lights	RnB Romantic connotations Sad, more moody tones	Speeding: Shown as addictive through the camera focusing on how the subject becoming really excited when speeding but leads to negative consequences by showing the artist getting in trouble after Violence: Closeups to show the artist getting hurt Masculinity: Shown stereotypically as being violent and Romantic relationships	Likes: I like the colours here and the urban feel Dislikes: Although being fast paced matches the speeding theme, Iwanst able to understand what’s going on as well
The Beatles - Now And Then	Rock ‘Harsher’, more bold Darker colours	Time: Compared the band now vs then using old and new clips throughout the music video Friendship: Shows the band’s relationship throughout the years by using old clips and new clips of them and deepfake AI recreations of their dead members which shows them as	Likes: I like the comparison of old clips and new clips as it could effectively create an emotional response in the fans Dislikes: I think the usage of AI was really uncreative here
