The above image is a mind map of current music video conventions showing how I am going to approach them in regards to conventionality of current trending media products. Next to each initial branch, there are the words 'conventional', 'unconventional' or 'a mix' in brackets - they are what I feel will be the features of my music video, and as shown, most elements will either be a mix of conventional and unconventional or simply unconventional.
Overall I have decided that I want to make something unconventional because conventional products are more often than not produced on a high budget, so I feel that if I try to imitate that with a very low budget/no budget, it will look like a forced imitation. So, I thought it would be best for me to challenge conventions and make a video that will work on a simple concept, basic equipment, limited location/setting and minimal props.
