Pop powerpoint presentation

We made a powerpoint presentation about pop music and how it has changed from the 1950's to the 2000's. Through doing this we saw how the genre of pop music has many codes and conventions that have changed and mutated over the years - for instance the style of clothing that pop bands used to wear eg. The Beatles wore suits in their early album covers. This has greatly changed to pop bands nowadays wearing less formal clothing and brighter colours. However some codes and conventions have stayed the same - for example, dance routines were and still are a big factor that helps an audience to recognise a pop band, even Abba in the 70's moved in time with the music and each other. Now in 2009 girl bands such as Girls Aloud are still using dance routines in their music videos to attract an audience of both teenage girls and their male counterparts. Researching for this presentation helped us to realise we need to consider all the expected codes and conventions for an audience watching a video in our chosen genre - folk/indie.
