Genre


Genre is the main starting point when creating a media text
Point, type, kind, category, codes and conventions
Refers to the codes and conventions: different media texts appealing to different audiences
Rules of the text for each genre
Conventions: expected and predictable signs we read which make expectations
Codes: a system which signs are organised ---> connation’s and denotation
They create meaning to the audience
-Technical codes
-Symbolic codes

RnB Genre Conventions

Taylor Swift Storyboard



Taylor Swift's genre of music is a complete contrast with the RnB genre, it is good to compare the differences between the two to get a clear ideology of the codes and conventions within a genre.

This is a storyboard of the song 'You belong with me' by Taylor Swift.
We will be recreating this video in a group in order to get an idea of how to use the filming and editing equipment.

The Lyrics

Yo, Man, Man, Uhh

[Chorus]
Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothing
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothing
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothin’
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothin’
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

[Nicki Minaj]
Man I been did that, man I been popped off
And if she aint tryna give it up she get dropped off
Let me bust that U-ey, Bitch bust that open
Might spend a couple thou just to bust that open
Rip it off, no jokin
Like your name Hulk Hogan
Niggas move weight and sell but live in Houbouken
Bitch, I spit that crack like I’m in that trap
So if you need a hit then I’m with that bat

[Chorus]
Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothing
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothing
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothin’
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothin’
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

[2 Chainz]
Okay now Nicki Nicki Nicki, put it in your kidney
Got a new LS 450, ain’t no keys in this do-hicky
If I weren’t rappin’ I be trappin’
If I weren’t trappin’ I be pimpin’
If I weren’t pimpin’ I be gettin’ it, period
I don’t smoke no Bobby, but my denim be from Ricky
Got your girl Amalie and we smoke loud and drinkin’
Got my talk back so you can see what I been thinkin’
If you know me then you know I’ve been think Franklin
Money, thousands, True Religion trousers
Got a private home, started from the public houses
Hair weave killer, causing her arousal
Audi A8, told them Audi 5000, uh

[Chorus]
Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothing
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothing
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothin’
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothin’
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

Damn, damn what they say about me?
I ‘unno man, fuck is on your biscuit
If I get hits swingin on a big bitch
I ‘unno man, I’m shittin on your whole life

Bitches aint shit and they ain’t saying nothin’
A hundred mothafuckaz can’t tell me nothin’
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

[Nicki Minaj]
Man, I’m out in Texas
Man, I’m out in A-Town
Then I’m up in Chi-town or Miami shuttin it down
This that New Orleans, it’s LA or the Bay
It’s New York, Philly
And the whole DMV
I’m a Detroit playa, man it’s north south cats
Ohio Pittsburgh, got St. Louis on deck
It’s Delaware, Connecticut, it’s New Jersey got hella bricks
It’s Queens, Brooklyn and yeah they wildin’
Bronx, Harlem, and Staten Island

[Hook]
Bitches ain’t shit and they ain’t saying nothin’
A hundred mothafuckas can’t tell me nothin’
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap
I beez in the trap, be-beez in the trap

Damn, damn what they say about me?
Iunno man, fuckers on your biscuit
If I get hits swingin on a big bitch
Iunno man, I’m shittin on your whole life

Damn, damn what they say about me?
Iunno man, fuckers on your biscuit
If I get hits swingin on a big bitch
Iunno man, I’m shittin on your whole life

Chosen Song: abstract lyrics therefore will be creating an abstract preformance based video: Lyrical Meaning: Nicki Minaj stated in an interview with Graham Norton "It just means, 'I am always...' you know, that's our slang way of saying, 'I beez doing such-and-such-and-such.' So it's really like, 'I am always in the trap.' Now, the trap, ladies and gentlemen, relates to anywhere where you get your money”

not clear will make the video abstract with hidden meaning also to relate to the artists lyrics - very perfirmanced based and will relate to the R&B genre
