This a typical RnB song from the artist Chris Brown. The Title of the song is Forever.Just like most RnB music, the song is for a girl as it is sung by a boy. The video is very modern based so it has loads of affects an visuals. The Video has 3 main settings where they use strong lighting affects. The Main actors in this video is Chris Brown himself, a lady actress and a variety of male and female dancers. The song is closely matched with the lyrics, as the lyrics consist of the word 'Dance Floor' you see the actor mainly dancing during every scene.

Research for Hip-Hop Genre
Hip-Hop conventions that we have noticed:
1) Prodominantly, black people invented HipHop music, therefore there are more black artists within the genre. The recent MOBO award featured mostly black artists celebrating their invention.
2) Most HipHop tracks that we have looked at had cars, girls and designer brand jewelery and sunglasses
3) HipHop artist also use another artist in there song. Snoop Dogg used Pharell as his featured artist in his track 'Drop it like its hot'
4) The story in the music video's are closely related to the lyrics of the song. Soulja Boy 'Kiss me through the phone' had people in the video giving kisses to their loved ones over the phone...
5) There are more American HipHop artists. Most British HipHop artists are unheard of, or not popular
6) The setting of the HipHop tracks are usually at rich or unusual places. There are more affects and lighting used. In Kanye West's video 'Stroner' he uses strong lighting affects.
