Jazz

Music videos have 3 different aspects which are generic throughout any music video: Mise-en-scène, Camera and Editing.

A Jazz song tends to have an upbeat tune making the audience feel "jazzy"/ happy.

 

Generic Conventions

Mise-en-Scène
  • Bright lights used throughout music video in order to 'brighten' the audiences mood

  • Codes of dress are generically a man in a suit and the female wearing a dress

  • The location is old fashion (back streets and shops) in order to give the music video a 60s vibe 

Editing
  • The edit cuts are generically a constant speed throughout as the tempo of a jazz song doesn't change significantly

  • Not a lot of special effects, only to make the video seem old (grainy look)

  • Cross-cutting between two locations of performance and an old back street

Camera
  • Cross-cutting between two locations of performance and an old back street

  • The edit cuts are generically a constant speed throughout as the tempo of a jazz song doesn't change significantly

  • Not a lot of special effects, only to make the video seem old (grainy look)
