Institution

Our media text is a music video, this means it belongs to the music industry. The band that we are using would be signed to an independent  label such as domino music.


Typical traits of independent labels: 
- financially and stylistically independent 
- they sign small unknown artists 
-less clear genre definition 
- a niche audience
- music seen as an art form


Typical traits of major labels:
- the industry is dominated by 4 major companies, which are made up of several labels who own between them between 70-75% of the world market share. These companies are: Warner Music, EMI, Universal and Song BMG.


-  mainstream genres 
-manufactured music
-big artists 
- a wide audience
- usually part of media conglomerates 
- global domination
