The music video will clearly alter depending on the genre of the song and the band involved. There is so many different genres in the music industry know that it is extremely important that the artist makes sure that their particular video relates to the genre of music. An obvious example would be for an R&B video the lead singer will be surrounded by stunning woman, live in massive houses and living the 'dream'. This can be seen in Dizzee Rascal's latest music video 'Holiday', In other genres such as indie will normally be never down to earth and generally revolve around the lead singer and a narrative story. The video will always be influenced by the genre of the song.
CD covers
Just like the music videos, the cd covers will clearly alter depending on the genre of the song and the style of the artist. This is very important as the cd cover sells the album to the target audience, the best ones are the ones which stand out and really grab your attention. In general an R&B artist will have him/herself on the front cover with plenty of 'bling'. Whereas with the indie style of music it is more likely to be a animation or piece of art on the front cover of the cd. The cd cover will obvious have the artist/band name on the front cover so that in itself will encourage fans of the band to purchase it but if the buyer is not a massive fan then at times it can be the cd cover that decides whether or not it is worth buying.
Magazine advertisement
The main difference of the magazine advertisement compared to the cd cover is that the advert will obviously need to be perused people and will most likely need to be more eye-catching than the cd cover. This is due to the fact that the majority of people who will be buying music cd's will already be shopping so they will not need persuaded as much as the people reading a magazine at home or at work. This will mean that the advert will have to be much more vibrant and will have to catch the readers attention as soon as they see it.
