  1. P2 Your analysis of the music video shows a good start in understanding the codes and conventions of this particular music genre. You have identified the main points within the music genre and have thought about the conventions in some detail.

    To achieve a M2 you need to explain your reasons in more detail and then include a summary at the end to show your understanding and knowledge of the music genre. Finally you still need to analyse one more music genre.
