How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Since R&B is one of the most popular genres in my generation, my conventions were adopted in the finished work. My own taste of music was also taken into consideration for my conventions. From my research prior to the music video I watched the "Sweater Weather" Music video and took inspiration from the shots they included during the film.

We picked one that was the closet to what we needed and settled for that. We weren't going to pay the outrageous prices vendors were selling these videos for.
