Advanced Portfolio 1: Image and Genre - Connor Robson

This was the earliest video from bloc party, this just simply shows the band plainly performing, with some quirky camera movement and a conceptual idea with the coloured circled lighting.
They usually like this individual stylistic approach to music videos, but also keeping a cool "normal" natural image at the same time.
The genre of Bloc Party is individual/independent, they compare to other artists by the quirky guitar riffs and lyrics  the music video style and conventions are also somewhat of the conventions, mainly performance based with a twist on the performance as a conceptual element is added.
Bloc Part haven't really changed too much over time, they have kept the same authentic organic image throughout their sparkling career, the only thing that can be said is different is their music videos change as their music progresses, early Bloc party showed black and white visuals with deeper meaning to the lyrics,as the band grew and got more commercial and reputable their music videos became allot more conceptual with faster cuts, shorter duration of shots and allot more bright colours.
