Music Video Forms & Conventions
In this task I had to analyse 5 music videos, the analysing involved knowing the band/singer, the title, the duration, the ratio of narrative to performance, the genre, the mise-en-scene involved, the themes and finally the structure.
This has helped me understand how the professionals construct a music video, and how the narrative might have a relation with the lyrics. It also shows that you can have 3 different types of narratives, whether this is: illustration, amplification and disjuncture and how these 3 structures can have a serious impact on your video.
This task will be vital when coming to create my video as it gives me an insight into how music videos work, I will now have the information to be able to create a good and connected narrative for my video.
