The second of the two low budget music video's that I analysed was a pop video, and differs greatly to the 'aha' music video I analysed previously to this one from watching this veideo, it is clear that most aspects differ from the 'aha' video, for example the most obvious aspect would be the lighting, for this video there is continuous hiugh key lighting throughout the video to draw all attention to the boys within it, to almost make them look like 'stars' to suggest they are trying to portray this strerotypical image of boy bands being quite angelic and pristine, this is similar to the video of adam lambert's song, where alike this the lighting is quite high key and pristine, suggesting that this low budget video has greatly followed the conventions of a pop genre video, showing the importance of researching your chosen genre well.
Another convention that I believe they have taken on board well is the locations they have used, similarly to ed sheeran's video I chose to analyse, they used a stage like setting with simple splot light onto the band members to highlight their importance and to also gain portray this angelic, pop star image, similar to the setting used in Sheeran's video. Another aspect of this video in which I believe to follow the pop genre is the use of limited location, alike the others of this genre that I analysed they stick to one or maybe two locations and this one did the exact same as the others. Linking to this the use of sharp, pristin elooking costume again alike adam lambert's video is something in which is a convention of a pop video, caring for their appearance and making sure they look sharp and again back to this 'boy band' image portrayed across the pop genre.
Similar to this the narrative of the video of living this pop star life, going to a party as they have 'just got paid' and singing on a spot lighted stage, again seems to follow the conventions of this genre, but doing it in a simplistic way in which sticks to the low budget nature of these two videos,
