Greetings and Salutations!
Welcome to Media TL;DR the series where I break down my greatest projects so you can easily dive in and understand my original ideas. I'm your host Jaydon Smith! And Today's topic is my song genre and it's conventions.
My Song Genre
"It's Thursday Night", the song my music video will be on, has a genre I wasn't able to identify too easily, but I pretty much pinpointed it to "Alternative Folk" which is a pretty unique genre but I think it's cool. So I'm going to watch some music videos in the Alternative Folk genre to see how I can apply some of their techniques.
