Main Differences

6. In comparison, music videos in the pop genre, the
images featured on the left in previous slides, tend to
have artificial lighting. Whereas, music videos in the
reggae genre, the images featured on the right in
previous slides, have natural lighting. This appears to
be a main difference between the two genres. Pop
music videos also use special effects as seen in the
first image on slide 5, otherwise they would not
simply stand out. Reggae music videos can get away
with not using special effects, but still look just as
effective due to the scenery and locations in which
they tend to use. Typically, you see nice beaches with
palm trees and bright blue sea. This rarely appears in
pop videos. They stick to staged locations normally.

11. Further differences between music videos in the pop
genre and the reggae genre are, reggae videos show
women or in some cases men in a very intimate
manner. Whereas, pop videos are either just a
collaboration of both sexes or romance is shown in a
more casual way. This is visible in the previous 3
slides, you can tell this by the camera shots that were
used to represent the females. Pop music videos
appear to be there to impress people, with the use of
effects and lighting. Reggae music videos are more
realistic and often get a community involved, as seen
on slide 10. The pop music genre continues to have a
set like feel, instead of the beautiful scenery we
witness in the reggae genre. However, both work well.
