The term genre is used to categorize
creative media including writings and speeches and film/music
There are two main genres which are fiction
and non fiction which are sub groups that different media formats fit in two
such as batman which is a film that would fit into the fiction category. There
are further lines that can be divided such as fiction that has sub groups such
as poetry and drama. Each song and film. Genre the word is from the French
language meaning kind or sort. Genre separates visual, spoken, written or audio
art forms in to different groups. In sort it is a ‘’classification system’’
that is used to sort out difference in the theme and story. There are many
elements that can determine the type of genre a film or music track fits into
such as the storyline, the tone and the content.
There are book genres as well such as epic,
tragedy, comedy, novel, short story. Genre is defined as a ‘’kind, category, or
sort and is a old French word’’. Genre makes the classification of different
media types easy because every type of song and video fits in to some category.
so in short genre splits media in to different groups by there content and
artist style.

Shot Count Task
Shot count task
The number of shots/cuts that are used in my chosen video which is keane sovereign light café
I choose this song and this music video because the idea of it is quite
unusual and the format is different and actually fresh. It features the lead
singer walking down a beach front with a
load of different people that are cut in walking with him too including a band
and dancers.
After a close count I found that the number of shots in the music video
is 83 including the fade opening and the fade closing shots.
The main shot types in the video where just straight snap/cut shots
The editing techniques used where the fade in and out shots at the
start and end of the video and the slowed speed of the house that you see run
across the screen in the first couple of seconds and then again in the middle
of the song. There is a lot of pull focus shots for example the shot of the
girls legs that are in focus and the houses in the background that appear out
of focus and the same with the wrestlers where one appears in and the other
out. In all the moments of action eg. When the people are jumping backwards off
the railings there is a slight slower speed and when it gets back on to the
main singer the speed increases.
There is a lot of different camera focuses and angles to show the
content of the shot and what the director wants you to look at in every shot so
some times it is an establishing shot of the beach and other shots are of
peoples faces in a mid shot and then other times it is a close up shot of
someone’s feet or hands.
But as the lyrics suggest the song is taking us on a journey down to
this café and there is very much a link to this in the video the song even
talks about a bandstand and a pier so there is a certain link to the beach.
The genre is applied in the video because of they way in, which the
song is portrayed, and they way in, which it shows what the lyrics are saying.
The video is quite carm and laid back and I believe that is what the song
sounds like. And the song fits in that alternative rock and rock pop genre,
which is what keane normally, do.
The narrative is actually a reality as it talks about this café that
exists in a place called Bexhill-on-Sea
and many of the real road names are used, so it is really possible that the song
has been written on someone’s account of a real life experience of this place
and it is said that this place is close to where the members of keane grow up
so for this song the narrative could not get more personal and more real. The
audience can be applied to this very easily because as this is a real place
that people could have visited it could have a connection with many people also
they was people involved in the video of different backgrounds and ways of life
so people could have a connection thought the song by that. As I have mentioned
there is a direct representation to members of the band as they grow up near
there and also there is a representation with Britain with the British flag
that is flying at the end of the video.
