ICONOGRAPGHY OF RnB MUSIC VIDEOS
Men vs Women
Typcailly men in RnB videos are usually very sexual and the topless me in the RnB videos connote the sense of sexuality. A majority of RnB videos these day are filmed in greyscale/sepia tone witch adds a sensual tone to the imagery in the video. RnB male stars wear jewlery, however not so much as Hip Hop stars do because although they are trying to depict their wealth, a majority of Videos will have close ups on their bodies and abs. A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD BE TREY SONGZ- CAN'T BE FRIENDS
WOMEN
Similar to males in the RnB genre, females also convey their seuxality through their clothing which is minimal as mentioned before, they also place emphsis on their makeup. RnB females are usually portrayed as soft goddess type people in their video, but nowadays there has been a lot of gender sterotypes being broken in their videos with the female being seen as more powerful than men. FOR EXAMPLE... BYEONCE- WHO RUN THE WORLD, GIRLS.
The woman in the background showing of her legs, emphasising the idea of voyeurism, sexualing female body parts.
Voyeurism is also portrayed in this image as Beyonces Breasts are out, along with alot of skin.
Beyonce is wearing lots of jewellery, and in R&B music videos the women normally wear big earrings, necklaces, however eventhough Byeonce's necklace is quite femine here she still breaks gender stereotypes because it is usually R&B males that wear large chains.
Womens hair and makeup is always dramatic and eye cathcing. Their makeup is bold and defined, epecially their eyes they always have dark coloured eyeshadow with gold which make their eyes look alluring. To show power and dominance some women tend to wear a red lip.
Women in R&B music video normally have very little clothing on and their stomachs or part of their stomach are on show the majority of time; this is because to male fans they are meant to be seen as objects of desire.
Most male R&B artists for example Trey Songz wear very minimal clothing; this is because a lot of male R&B singers target market is young teenage girls, and this is what they are generally attracted to.
