1. Media Homework
Note to teacher – I had photos but they have disappeared whilst converting from
pages to Microsoft word. The official draft will be upload ASAP.
Explain the different types of music video using examples of images and your own
research.
Performative
Chris brown - Loyal ft. Lil wayne, tyga
This is an example of a performative music video because it has several
choreographed dance routines.
I personally like this shot in the music video because it enables the viewer to see
whats happening in the video from a different angle.
This is another shot example from Chris Brown loyal. I also like this long angle shot
because it emphasises the height of the people who are in the shot.
Narrative
Bobby V - Slow down
This is an example of an narrative music video because the lyrics match the music
video, which is telling a story.
I personally like this shot because it is showing close up of a street name. However,
its also showing a car. I like the concept of merging two different ideas into one
frame.
2. This frame is also an inspiration to me because its a close up shot of the side of the
artist face. However, the viewer is able to see the reflection of a character. This helps
enhances the storyline.
Abstract
Katy Perry - Unconditionally
This is a form of an abstract music video, because it doesn't relate to what the song
is saying.
I personally like the editing in this frame because it has spark falling from the sky
which is an interesting concept. The colour of the sparks are the same colour as the
artist dress. This could represent the personas personality that the artist is creating in
her music video.
I also like the concept of snow falling in a ball room. This could represent how the
character is feeling whist dancing. I also like the hair which is an indicator to the era
that the music video is set in.
