Music Video Conventions.

Hello everyone!

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic day. The song genre that me and my group selected was R&B. The conventions for this genre's music videos are ideally the same. The music videos generally feature slow or fast, emotional beats, and often feature powerful lyrics and stories. Here's the research we did on different music videos in the R&B genre.
