· an uprising diversion from the more stereotypical elements often found in UK music videos which feature black males
After an in depth research into Loyle Carner and his music I thought it would be interesting to extract the resurgence of a particular genre and entail this in the article itself, due to the production subverting stereotypes found in my research investigation I decided to particularly look at the resurgence of jazz, jazz being a genre often found combined with hip hop in Loyle’s work. My article definitely reflecting the resurgence of a less popular UK genre, this differing to the norm as it is usually grime which is discussed when it comes to UK music/UK music videos due to rising popularity.
Visual elements displayed in the music videos of both my focal artists inspiring my final production, harsh aspects of the street exposed through both visual links of graffiti and primary photographs, these particular elements of my production linking more to the atmospheric vibe created in Skepta’s music videos. I contrasted these visuals with a minimalistic approach , an approach often taken in Loyle Carner’s work in order to portray and provide a more emotional effect on the audience. Combining both colour and negative space often evident in Loyle’s work I was able to provide the double page spread with a particular mood that fitted my selected genre and desired effect successfully. I personally believe my final production effectively challenged the stereotypes often associated with black males in UK music videos. Manipulating visual elements from my initial research investigation to create a professionally formatted front cover/double page spread of a magazine that successfully subverted the stereotypes explored in my initial research.
