MusicVideoTheories
There are several individuals who have thought of
their own theories with regard to Conventions of
MusicVideos.The ones I have conducted some
research into are:
- Andrew Goodwin
- David Buckingham
- Nicholas Abercrombie
Andrew Goodwin
Andrew devised these SevenTheories based on what he thinks a Generic MusicVideo will
feature, regardless of Genre or Style ofVideo.
1. Music videos demonstrate Genre Characteristics. (E.g. Stage Performance in MetalVideos,
Dance Routines for Boy/Girl Bands and Aspiration in Hip Hop).
2.There is a relationship between Lyrics andVisuals.The lyrics are represented with Images.
(Either Illustrative,Amplifying and Contradicting).
3.There is a relationship between Music andVisuals.TheTone and Atmosphere of theVisuals
reflects that of the music. (Either Illustrative, Amplifying and Contradicting).
4.The demands of the Record Label will include the need for lots of Close-Ups of the Artist, and
the Artist my develop Motifs which recur across their work. (AVisual Style).
5.There is Frequent Reference to Notion of Looking. (Screens within Screens, Mirrors, Stages
etc.) and particularlyVoyeuristicTreatment of the Female Body.
6.There are often Intertextual References. (To Films,TV Programs, Other MusicVideos etc.)
7. A MusicVideo can either be Performance, Concept or Narrative Based, but someVideos do
incorporate more than one of the three areas listed.
David Buckingham
“genre is not simply given by the culture, rather, it is in
a constant process of Negotiation and Change”.
What Buckingham is saying here, is that there
shouldn’t be a predetermined presumption made for a
MusicVideo based on the artist’s recognizable Genre,
due to the fact the Genres are changing slightly every
day, and now any key factor can be seen as Genre
Relevant in some way, shape or form. Eg: Pop Bands
are starting to be captured playing instruments such as
Guitar and Drums. Buckingham believes that it is all
down to interpretation, and it should be left at that.
Nicholas Abercrombie
“Television producers set out to exploit Genre
Conventions.. It makes Economic Sense”.
Basically, Abercrombie believes that genre
Conventions in MusicVideos are exploited, all in an
effort to turn in a profit.
