Classical Music

Codes and conventions- 
The familiar and predictable forms and techniques used by the media to communicate certain ideas or to convey a desired impression. 
Classical music is the art music produced in, or rooted in, the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the 11th century to present times. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice period.


The most infamous classical musicians include,Beethoven, Handel, Bach and Mozart e.t.c. 


As we can see from three of the classical music videos, the locations seem to be set in opera houses. They can also be filmed in old worn down appartments. 
All the conductors and orchestra are well dressed in bow ties and black gowns. 
A lot of the shots in the videos are long shots and close ups. They use long shots because it gives the idea that the entire orchestra is working together, as one. Feeling of community. Close ups of the conductor, singers and instruments being played are used constantly throughout every music video. 
The editing is slow setting the pace for the calming songs.
