MUSIC VIDEO + GIG / CONCERT POSTER

In this session, we are looking at film language and genre conventions in the music video form. Music promos are short videos that are made to accompany a song released by a band or solo artist. Music promos are available to view through the artist's own website, hosting websites like VEVO or to purchase from online stores like iTunes.

• The pop star has an identity or persona which is easily recognizable by the fan
• Music promos feature performance - the artist sings or plays, making eye contact with us, as the point is to promote the star
• The lyrics are often reflected in the narrative - the characters and story
• The band and the song's genre determine the treatment - heavy mettle will be different from rock, pop or hiphop

TASK

• Watch the three music videos and compare the camerawork and editing
• Decide whether the music video tells a story 
• How much 'performance' is there?
• Music videos sometimes use 'intertextuality' - they refer to another 'text' or idea outside the world of the video. Do any of these?
