LO1 Wyclef Jeans by young thug and the 6 codes of convention by Andrew Goodwin

1.A relationship between the video and lyrics. In the first picture the lyrics consist of "we back to back in the phantom" while it cuts to a car which is referred ton as a phantom in hip-hop. through the second video the lyrics are saying "i don't want no foreign cars" as it cuts to other sets of cars even toy cars.



2.editing and the relationship between the music and the visual. the first ss is from Wyclef Jean which is a party type song. it as a lot of funny, outrageous lyrics that relate to money, women and luxury and so the setting would be very luxurious, with a lot of models and women. However the second clip is from Octane sex by Gnar which is more dark in tone and atmosphere. relating more to drugs weapons and less about women. So the setting for this song is very desolate and uses night time more than the other song to enhance the dark vibe of the song.



3.As you can see the song Octane sex rarely subvert the assets for a rap music video. Through the expectation of women in the music video as it doesn't have women in it. even with this the song just consists of the artist/rapper dancing (performing) to the audience. however the other sound Wyclef Jean completely subverts the genre as normally during a music video it would be mainly performance with women and other shots. The narrative of the song consists of the artists Young Thug not appearing to the shoot meaning that the the production team could only use B roles and all of the shots they were going to do could not be done. It is unknown if it is true or false that he actually didn't appear on shoot but this idea allowed many jokes and made it extremely popular due to its narrative.


4. Gnar's song has many close ups of him performing as it is a regular rap song. while because Young Thugs song is a parody of  Hip Hop music videos as he mocks the close up shots while performing as while doing it he eats Cheetos and does seem to attempt a try. In doing this Young Thug gained a representation and this managed to promote his recognisable brand back in 2016.





5. In relation to women and Voyerism Young Thugs song uses this to an abundances as alot of the lines in the song relate to sexualising women and what he does with women. so the video constantly shows off models in sexual clothing, bikinis and ect plus even shows ideas that were going to be used as shots in the video.









6. The whole video for Wyclef Jean is a parody on Hip Hop music videos. This is due to the Director talking to us throughout the whole video, talking about the artist not coming and how the team fixed the video. The whole narrative was making fun of the fact many artists are very entitled and egotistical. It also mocks rap videos through the use of women in sexual clothing and the war against police as they get kids to destroy a police car, in the only complete scene in the whole music video. the video also mocks the use of props in songs.
