either be a linear
narrative, where it has a
beginning, middle and
end or a single strand
narrative, where all the
focus is on one character
(in this case it will focus on
the couple more). By
picking one of those, it will
help me structure my
production better.
Meeting genre I will research the Pop
conventions genre codes and
conventions (and also
romances) so then I can
make sure my music video
can interpret and will fit
the genre, to see the
different guidelines I need
to follow.
Platform issues (YouTube) On social media platforms,
they’re bringing out new
regulations, which restricts
what is allowed to post. I
will make sure to research
into what the regulations
are and make sure my
content is far from it.
Age restrictions; The song I will use does

warning to allow a
younger audience to be

certain age from seeing it

audience.
