Looking at a Pop promo

There are many genres of pop and also sub genres e.g. Soundtrack, Baroque pop,Operatic pop, Bubblegum pop, Sunshine pop,Christian pop, Dance-pop, Europop,  Power pop,  Sophisti-pop, Synthpop, Space age pop, Traditional pop and Teen pop.

If you notice here you can see this typical pop video by Sam and the Womp - Bom Bom Bom, this video follows the typical image of a pop promo, if you look at the attire you can see that it is jazzy and up beat, the earing on the woman are large and she is only wearing one, this is an unconventional theame but it works for a pop vdeo as they are a bit of the chain, you notice that the colours are bright also another typical trait of the piop genre, with the pop genre you expect to see bright colours and unusual dancing and also parts that dont make compleate sense but because they are in a pop video it is acceptable. You notice the make up is not something that you would wear on a night out but it is groovy and that is also why it fits into the pop genre and also fits in with the Mis-En-Scene.
With the editing it is mainly Jump cuts used in Music vides to have a fast and easy transisition to the next slide, althought disoves and fasde are also commonly used, with pop videos the camera shots are up close to show happy and up-beat facial emotions, the main audience for a pop video is Teenagers as they are the most likely to listen the that Genre.
