Genre Paragraph

Genre is a key elemnt of any media text, especially music videos. In terms of the music video 'All I do is Win' by Dj Khaled, it is a hip hop genre and constitutes a representation of gender and wealth. The music video shows various artists (predominantly male) showing off big jewellery, expensive drinks and expensive clothes. Women dancers are used throughout the video mainly dressed provocitavely and seen to be all over the men. This could possibly highlight a mysonigystic view of the hip hop culture. This is satisfying the stereo-type of hip hop artists as they are often shown in the media as mysonygists and homophobics.

There are also a lot of uses of symbols and signs which subside with the theory of semiotics by Roland Barthes. The strict black and white theme in the video is parallel to the hip hop industry as vibrant colours and dramatic scenes is more of a pop culture convention. People smoking, images of cars and money however are shown alot throughout this video which again conform to the genre specified to try and prove power, superiority and wealth between the artists.
