 Name: The Other
 Artist: Lauv
 Genre: Indie/Pop
 Type Of Video: Lyric Video
 Purpose: The artist is not famous enough to spend
money on a music video that may not be that
successful so the lyric video helps the audience to
get to know the song more.
 Inspiration: Although this song doesn’t have a
proper music video, it allows me to have a more
original response to the song and lets me think of
my own narrative surrounding the lyrics.

3.  Name: Slide Thru
 Artist: Blackbear
 Genre: R&B
 Type Of Video: Conceptual
 Purpose: The purpose of this video is to establish and expand his brand image. He is also trying to
create something original and something to catch the audiences eye.
 Inspiration: The use of split screen in this video is very effective and it creates a strange but intriguing
feel. It would be hard to pull off but I think that if we could incorporate a small amount of split screen
into the narrative it would show off our ability and professionalism.

4.  Name: Good Guy Shoes
 Artist: Froggy Fresh
 Genre: Rap
 Type Of Video: Narrative (Amplification)
 Purpose: The purpose of this video is to tell a story that
the artist has created. His strange and unique video is
intended to draw attention to itself for popularity and
more views.
 Inspiration: I really like how he has created an
interesting but efficient music video around the strange
narrative and his use of an intro to the video is
something I could use.

 Name: Hold Back The River
 Artist: James Bay
 Genre: Indie
 Type Of Video: Performance
 Purpose: This was James Bay’s first ever music video
and was his hit single for his breakthrough album for
MTV. He might of choose a performance video to show
the audience how he will perform live and also how he
is fun and fiery on stage.
 Inspiration: I like how throughout the video it only
shows James playing and singing but when the chorus
comes in and the tempo increases, tthe lights come on
and you can see the rest of the band.

6. FUNCTION OF A MUSIC VIDEO
The function of a music video is always to promote the artist and their song! However, often there are
other reasons for a music video such as highlighting a deeper and ignored world problem or showing off an
artists personality or talents.
