The document discusses different types of music videos and techniques used in them. It provides examples of narrative music videos like "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day which tells a story through shots of a couple and war scenes. It also analyzes the representation in Beyoncé and Jay-Z's "Crazy Love" video in terms of gender, sexuality, and race. Finally, it discusses post-modern music video techniques like pastiche, parody, intertextuality, and how videos can reference or mimic other works.

1. Music video types
Narrative
Greenday-wake me up when September ends
. Narrative dialogue there are a couple sat in a field on a warm summer evening the scene
set is love and they promise each other they will never leave.
. The editing technique is shot reverse shot.
.the editing technique when the band are first shown is an extreme close up off the lead
singer
.Montage editing when it goes back to the couple it is a series of shots that show them
together happy and at different stages of the day.
.It thenreverts to shot reverse shot and use narrative enigma to hold the viewer in
suspense. It shows he has joined the army and then shows a montage of war and switches
between her and him.
Mise en scene means everything that you see in the frame
Physically the actors-love scene
High key lighting-summer
Setting-field, countryside and then battlefield later on
Beyoncé ft jay-z crazy love
Representation
Gender-she dresses provocatively she objectifies herself by wearing the clothes she is.is she
empowered or objectified?
SexualityRace-she is poor and then when jay-z enters the frame she suddenly becomes rich whichj
could be seen as she is owned by the black male
Violence-jay-z first enters the shot and blows up a car this could be a negative
representation of young black men

2. Post modernism and music video
Post modern media borrows copies from other forms of media
Pastiche-a performer or artist will pay homage to another performer or artist from the past
Parody-where an artist’s mock another artist’s work in a satirical way

Paying homage with the same kinds of hand
movements
