Genre Conventions

As we are doing a hip-hop-rap video, it has to follow some conventions of a hip-hop/rap video


1.) Girls (the male gaze)
our video will contain attractive female extras which is a common element shown in hip-hop/rap videos





2.) Money & Jewelry
Many hip-hop/rap videos emphasis the artists wealth 





3.) Cars
Hip-hop/rap videos often show expensive cars, either being driven or parked







4.) Scenery
Most hip-hop/rap videos take place outside/inside big expensive houses with pools
