The Weekend- Cant feel my
face
Set in a old night club.
Like all R&B songs on this
power point the song is
about romance and love
but the twist is that its all
metaphorical because The
Weekend is talking about
drugs its not a romance
between partners but its
between him and drugs.
The way in which the
music video is set, him
on fire, is kind of
different to the other
songs.
This type of music
video is is
performance and a
storyline.
Since the song was
made in 2017 the
clothes are very
casual.
The lifestyle is very social and
wealthy due to the fact that
the video is set in the nightclub
and its talking about drugs
which implies that he has a lot
of money to be spending on
drugs.
The singer- is male
depicted as the main
protagonist
A lady sighing,shes
depicted as a person
who is finding the
main protagonists
performance boring
A creepy looking
man Is depicted as
the drug dealer for
the main
protagonist.
This type of song is
something that I would play
in the house or in the car
because its very relaxed and
its nice to listen to.
Nelly- Dilemma ft Kelly Rowland
Like all R&B songs on
this power point the
song is about
romance and love.
Its set on a busy
street in the 2000s.
This type of
music video is is
performance and
a storyline.
The clothes very
vintage and you
can tell that it was
created in the
early 2000s due to
the different
fashion.
There is a wealthy life style
depicted in the video due to the
fact that there are expensive cars
used an the neighborhood which
the music video is filmed looks very
wealthy.
Nelly and Kelly are both
depicted as the main
protagonists, their
relationship in the video
is very stereotypical
because they are black
couple arguing and
cheating on each other
yet they love each other.
This is a type of song I
would play around
certain people because
its so deep and it’s a
very loving kind of
song.
Blackstreet- No diggity
This type of music
video is a
performance.
The music video is set
in various locations
and there is a lot of
outfit changes
through out the video
but.
Like Nelly- Dilemma ft
Kelly Rowland you can
tell that the music
video was filmed
during the early 2000s.
Like most R&B songs its
about “physical
connections”.
The lifestyle for this video is
very social and you can also
tell they are players because
of the language they use and
the way they act in the video.
The 4 main protagonists
are depicted as players
due to how they behave
during the music video,
they have a lot of girls
surrounding them and
they have that player type
of look to them.
I would play this song in
the house as well because
its now a song u can dance
to but you can vibe to it.
Aretha Franklin- Respect
This song talks about
how men don’t give
women as much respect
as they should in
relationships and this
song is basically about
Aretha asking her man
for the respect that she
deserves.
This song is very old and
there was a music video
but it was in black and
white and it was a
performance.
Aretha depicts a very
mother-like lifestyle due
to the fact that her
lyrics are asking for the
basic stuff that should
be included in a
relationship.
As the main protagonist
she is seen as a mother
and wife figure due to
how her lyrics are very
mature.
I would play this song in the
house with my cousin cause
we like like old and classic
song with a good beat to it
and it’s a song you can
Karaoke to.
This song was released in
in the 1960s a time when
the women's movement
was starting so this song
links to how women
were treated as
properties and they
didn't’t have a say in a
lot of stuff and they
weren't allowed to work
or if they would work
they weren't getting the
same amount of money
as men were.
