My chosen genre of music from my music video is pop

1. Chase & Status "No More Idols" (2011).

The album cover from the band Chase and Status "No More Idols" has chosen to use a black and white image of a bulldog with a light bold yellow writing, telling the audience of what band it is and the name of the album. From research of the audience who would listen to this genre of music, a bulldog is popularly used as an English/United Kingdom symbol & as well as being a sterotypical dog for my audience to own. The image of the bulldog is in black and white due to the title of the album. "No More Idols" due to death thing important and the way that has been represented from the image is from the use of the black and white. The colour of the font works well with the album cover as yellow is a representative colour of the music genre as well as standing out very clear against the black and white image. The title and the name of the band have been typed in capital letters which comes across as bold and aggressive like the music can be.

2. Nero - Welcome Reality

The album cover of "Welcome Reality" from the band Nero provides the audience with a futuristic setting, a movie poster layout & an future like font for the band name. The title of the album "Welcome Reality" is used in making this album cover by the use of the movie poster set out and the design the artists have used. The title sounds like people are living in a futuristic & space like world in which they need to face the reality. This could also an unreal lifestyle and is living in denial of real things. The design of the album cover features mostly of a space like sky with stars, shooting stars and a galaxy, while the bottom half of the album  shows a dark blue skyline of the city, rocks, two people and smoke. This futuristic setting is related to the genre of music they produce. The two people heading towards the skyline I believe are meant to represent the band. Not only are the two characters in the centre of the album, but the band name is right above them, making the audience aware of who are they.

3. Calvin Harris - Ready For The Weekend

Calvin Harris's "Ready For The Weekend" album cover has used a black and white image of a young woman wearing sunglasses and the name and title of album on the left hand side. The black and white image works with the title of the album "Ready For The Weekend" by using a young & glamorous woman who's had her hair and make-up done and wearing stylish sunglasses. This could represent that during the week, her life is black & white and boring and now that she's "Ready For The Weekend" she's waiting for the fun to hit her life hence the title. The font used for the title and name of the artist is a font like a digital clock would use. Not only this is futuristic which represents the kind of music the artist makes, but also could represent the digital clock numbers & time and being ready to go out and enjoy the weekend.

In conclusion all 3 of these CD cover are futuristic which a convention of a large majority of pop music videos as allot of them are fantasy and unrealistic creating a happy and smoothing mood.
