Genre Representations - Country

• A country music video typically shows the artist with a carefree attitude, either shown through having a good time with friends (without alcohol or drugs) or through singing in tranquil locations (such as in the woods, or a field).
• The videos are usually set in warm weather, with the sun shining. This represents them as happy and joyful, with little to worry about (hence the carefree attitude).
• They nearly always have a narrative strand, with the artist lip singing through the narrative.
• An example of this carefree attitude is 22 - Taylor Swift, a modern, young country artist.
