Comparisons of Different Genres

Here we see Green Day from the rock genre and One Direction from the pop Genre and we can see lots of differences just from these two stills. Firstly the location in Green Day they are in an odd and unusual location where as One Direction are at a beach house this give the audience a brief idea of the genre. Secondly the costumes. Green Day is wearing all black and white suit style costumes. Whereas one direction are wearing casual gear like chinos and a polo shirt. I think the reasons for this is because Green Day are only just trying to promote their music and link in with the video whilst one Direction are aiming to attract an appeal from teenage girls.The things that we can compare in these stills are the fact that all band members are in these stills and in important shots like these they always are. Throughout both videos the camera seems to get all band members in the shots apart from the odd 1 or 2 occasions where lead singers do a solo in the song.

Here we see still of the band Good Charlotte and The Wanted.  The key things to analyse from these stills are the way that the performance element is displayed by both bands. In the Wanted’s still we see them all in suits on a preppy looking stage. They are also surrounded by bright colours. This suggests to the audience

that the song is a cheery song relating to things that are not to do with upset issues. In the Good Charlotte still we see them in what seems to be small room with pictures randomly scatter on the wall and certain objects hanging from the ceiling, they are all wearing full black carrying electric and heavy instruments Which is similar to the wanted as they are also all in possession of a instrument. The audience would be able to tell that the song is either of the rock or metal genre due to the dark colours, heavy emotion of the band member in the video and the small unusual dark location.
