Genre and Iconography

James Blake is influenced by many styles of music, therefore making his genre ambiguous. It ranges from hip-hop, soul, R & B to electronica and post dub-step.  The song chosen, "Take A Fall For Me" embraces the slight essence of hip hop because it has the rapper RZA on the song it and is rather soulful

Iconography- Due to the ambiguity of his genre, it is unlikely for our music video to follow any conventions and particular iconographies of hip hop, electronic music and soul. Instead, the visual arts and symbolic representation of the music video is dependent on the content of the song and the mood it provides for its listeners. Therefore letting the concept of the song to be amplified artistically and allowing the creation of a distinctive and unconventional video which would appeal to the aimed demographic of young adults.
