Conventions of music videos
R&B
Ø Women tend to be dressed in revealing outfits
Ø Try to portray wealth and power through the use of props like cars and jewellery.
Ø Men tend to be topless, in jeans showing tattoos and have accessories.
Ø Women tend to wear minimal clothing, have hair and make up done, wearing heals and jewellery.
Ø Tend to connote the sense of sexuality
Ø Women are portrayed as goddess type people but more recently artists are breaking this stereotype and become the one’s in charge.
Ø Slow R&B songs tend to follow a narrative
An example of a girl R&B song is: Ciara 'Like a boy'
An example of a boy R&B song is: 'Trey Songz 'Heart Attack'
