Music Videos:Purpose and Styles
FOR EXAM:
Need to analyse 2 different music videos
What are they for?
An important promotional tool for marketing performers and their music.
- They help create the Star Image for a new performer (Lana Del Ray)
- Adapt or develop the image of a more established artist (Rihanna)
- Used to interpret and anchor the meaning of a song and to entertain the audience
- Iconography indicates the genre of music and the style of the performer
Different Styles of music videos
Perfomance based- Close ups of the performer, direct dress to engager audience, different outfits (1D ‘What makes u beautiful’ Lady Gaga)
Narrative- Story is created, sometimes the artist doesn't feature at all and there are just actors.Enigma codes(Katy Perry ‘Thinking of you’ David Guetta ‘Titanium’
Conceptual-Based around an idea or imagine (Lady Gaga ‘Bloody Mary’)
Music Videos:
This music video is Performance based as the band is shown throughout the video which engages the audience.



Please give this post a title - Music Videos: Purpose and Styles
ReplyDeleteThis is a good introduction, however you must watch some music videos of each style and explain how they are either a performance, narrative or conceptual video - embed them into your post!
