The genre that my group has chosen for our music video is Electro-pop. Below is the mindmap that I created about the genre, it contains loads of different artists and groups from the genre and It also contains a few of the album covers from the genre. Having a mindmap about the genre will be very useful because having a load of sources for the genre will make it easier to see if there is any similarities and/or differences between the artists in that one genre. when we make the music video we will have to consider things like what our artists are going to look like, the way they have to dress/ act etc.

What Is recognizable within the genre?
The one thing that is clear to see is that no two artists or groups from the genre are the same, they all have their different styles. The majority of the artists wear dark clothing with the exception of a few wearing slightly more eccentric costumes, this makes them stand out from the rest of the genre because the bright colours and bright costumes are seen as a theme within the artists/groups work and it is therefore expected of them whenever they produce something new.
Conducting more research into this genre will help me to better understand the genre and the artists that work within it, researching into the history helps me to understand when the genre was established and how it came to be.
