Paradigms.

There are two types of paradigms which are the key elements of a genre. These are iconographic and structural. The iconographic is the signs and symbols for example the props and costumes used. This can be applied to my music video and is shown through the costumes used. The girl is wearing a set of pyjamas with a vest top which accentuates her chest area which is quite typical of the portrayal of a girl in a music video. Also there is lip synching, dancing and music included. Also, she is wearing a flowery top and looks quite countrified which is typical of a girl in a country music video. The structural is the way is a text is put together and how structures in the text deal with issues such as gender. The vest top is quite revealing which, again, is quite typical of the portrayal of a girl. She is also dancing around with a hair brush which people believe young girls do which allows them to relate, especially as many young girls have dreams of becoming a singer. The bedroom is also very pink which is a girly colour.
