In order to get a better understanding of music videos core ideas, I’ve taken a look at 3 different examples of music videos and then summarised them in one short sentence to see what these videos actually are about on a base level.
Summary: Man runs away from people with completely black eyes.
Summary: Man goes around the city giving away money and buying people things.
Summary: An elephant travels across the world to get back to his band.
To expand upon this I’ve also created some of my own basic summaries that are down below:
- Man gets incredibly excited for his birthday but he gets stood up by everyone invited.
- Athlete throws a game and is forced to train to prove everyone wrong.
- Nerd burns down a library after failing a test at school.
In future I will use the knowledge I’ve gained about the simplicity of many music videos narratives, in order to try and create a simple narrative on my own, and then expand upon that idea within the video and the events within it.
