In RnB there are many conventions that can be used. Within these conventions the use of fashion is very important to the conventions. Male RnB artists are usually inexpensive suits or coats, they could even be topless. This idea is to target the teen girls as they are sophisticated men but with a bad yet attractive side to them. For women they would wear minimal clothing this would be a target to the teen men as attractive yet 'fit' women.

RnB AND NELLY AUDIENCE RESEARCH
RnB songs carry the convention of love which appeals to 18-24 year olds that have experienced or are experiencing love. They are considered as songs that can be related to too by the singers audienc. However those that are younger would appeal to the songs as they wish to be like the other young adults.
Conventions within an RnB song would include the physical looks of the artist, the relationship that the artist has or any other extras that are included within the piece. Also within RnB music videos the aspect of the artist showing off his/ hers expensive possesions. For example cars and jewellery.
Modern RnB artists such as Nelly have large fanbases (2.4 million twitter followers). The majority of these 'followers' are people that use inspirational lyrics or phrases to relate to. Which can be viewed within the description of there twitter page. From Nelly's music video 'Just a Dream' on youtube we see that it is a mainstream song with 126 million views. We also see that the top demographic of the song is females aged 13-17, this strengthens the view that RnB music would also appeal to younger generations that wish that the song would appeal to them and that the would be in the same situation. A perfect example of a member of the audience using the song to relate is through a comment on the video on youtube saying, 'Right to the heart'.

PREIMINARY VIDEO FINAL
This is our final piece of our preliminary task of Ed Sheeran's A Team. Overall I feel that our piece was successful and had many positives. However I believe that the cuts that we used for the piece could have been improved overall as we did not use fades when necerssary to recreate the full piece of the video.
