applying steve nale to riptide

steve neal's genre theory: media texts are charecteriesed be similatities between a genre but also differences.
similarites are stereotypes and typical conventions of a genre that allow the text to be identfied as a specific type of genre.
however diffrences between texts of the same genre are crucial to make the fil unique and give it a unique selling point for the audience.


similarities
in all videos the background music involves a guitar playing and the rythms are similar
there are no choreographies or people dancing in the videos, but the video follows the life or jurney of the protagonist, a part from Reptide, who does not follow a specific story.
in all videos we see the importance of nature and locations.
both lumineers and bon iver have a young kid as the main protagonist of the strory, folowing their jureny throughout their day
all videos use low key or natural lighting
costume used by the actors is really similar and simple, with no extravagances

differenes
reptide does not follow a character or its story but  has a range of different cross cuts
only love does not highlight solitude and being one with your location and nature, but it shows the band playing at a concert and a crowd cheering at them
