Here we have 3 different music videos that are apart of different genres and from different artists. I’ve decoded these three videos in order to better understand the conventions of music videos, how they can be split between narrative, performance or be a mix between the two, as well as the video being either illustrative, amplified or disjunctured from the song itself and what these attributes add to our perception of the star’s image along with the song that goes with the video as the main purpose of the music video is to sell the star and get people hooked on who they are and what they’re like.
In future, I will take what I learned about music videos forms and conventions in my own music video to try to sell my star as legitimate and worthy of the audience’s time, attention and money, as well as to make a video that clearly displays a narrative that links back to the music in some way.
