Auteur theory
The Auteur Theory proposes that a film's director is its author or "auteur" and that successful films bear the distinctive style of their director. It was introduced in the 1950s by French directors like Francois Truffaut who argued films should focus on the director's contributions and personal style. An auteur refers to a filmmaker whose distinctive style and creative control over their work gives them signature status. Music video director Hype Williams is an example of a successful auteur, known for his flashy, stylized videos for major rappers in the 1990s that earned him numerous awards and established his signature visual styles.
Auteur theory
This document discusses the Auteur Theory in filmmaking and how music video director Hype Williams applies it in his work. It provides examples of several music videos directed by Williams, analyzing how he establishes his personal creative vision through stylistic choices like high-energy editing, bright flashing colors contrasted with dark backgrounds, and large title text synced to lyrics. Williams' use of these techniques helps emphasize the songs' themes and engage the audience through a recognizable directorial style.
Jonathan glazer
Jonathon Glazer is an English film, music video, and commercial director born in 1966. He is most famous for directing the film "Sexybeast" starring Ray Winstone in 2000. As a music video director, Glazer's videos are often abstract, dark, and in black and white, focusing on themes of death. However, his video for Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" stands out as being brighter and more lively. Glazer has worked with many notable artists including Radiohead, Massive Attack, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Prelim detailed analysis of otis jay z
The music video for "Otis" by Jay-Z and Kanye West shows the rappers flaunting their wealth and success. They drive a personalized luxury car recklessly while wearing expensive jewelry and clothes. The cinematography keeps the focus tightly on Jay-Z and Kanye West as they rap in front of an American flag. The editing is minimal and slow-paced to match the slow beat. The video pays homage to Jay-Z's previous "Money Ain't a Thing" video and samples Otis Redding, displaying the song's intertextual references.
Auteur Jonathon Glazer
Jonathon Glazer is an English film, music, commercial and theatre director born in 1966 in London. He is most famous for directing the film "Sexybeast" starring Ray Winton and winning MTV director of the year in 1997. His music videos are often abstract, dark, and in black and white, focusing on themes of death, but his video for Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" stands out as being bright and lively. Glazer's work proves auteur theory by displaying distinctive visual styles and themes across most of his projects, with the exception of the Jamiroquai video which breaks from his usual style.
Auteur Theory
The Auteur theory proposes that a film's director is its author or "auteur". An auteur brings their personal style and vision to a film, stamping it with their signature style. Supporters argue the most successful films bear the director's distinctive style. Chris Cunningham is cited as an example of a music video auteur known for his warped style and disturbing imagery in videos for Aphex Twins, Bjork, and others. Hype Williams is discussed as a case study of a renowned 1990s music video auteur. Williams worked with every major rapper of the era and had a signature style using elements like fish-eye lenses, bold colors, and sexualization of full-figured women through dance.
Auteur theory
The Auteur theory was introduced in the 1950s and advocated that directors have a significant influence on the style and form of films through their personal artistic vision. It holds that the director is the "author" of the film. An auteur is a director who has a distinctive style and maintains creative control over their work. While music video directors collaborate with others, they can still be considered auteurs if they have full control over the production and bring their own unique style, as seen in the work of directors like Chris Cunningham and Hype Williams.

types of music videos
There are three main types of music videos: performance videos that focus on the artist performing the song, narrative videos that tell a story related to the lyrics, and abstract videos with random visuals unrelated to the song. The first successful music video was Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 1975, which helped establish the music video as a way for artists to promote their music. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was groundbreaking as a 14-minute horror film-style video that helped shape the future of longer form videos. Beyoncé's "Formation" tackled controversial issues like black empowerment and police brutality. Britney Spears' "Toxic" spliced together elements from
Rihanna
Rihanna's song "Rude Boy" was released as the third single from her 2009 album Rated R. The up-tempo song incorporates elements of reggae, pop, and R&B. The music video, directed by Melina Matsoukas, used green screen techniques and featured props like stuffed animals. It depicted Rihanna dancing provocatively. The song was a commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. However, the video received criticism for being overly sexual and objectifying of Rihanna. It also drew accusations of copying ideas from M.I.A.'s music videos. The technical elements of the video, like camera work and costumes, enhanced
Media task 3 (mega task)
This document summarizes and analyzes several music videos using concepts from film and media studies. It discusses how Sia's "Elastic Heart" video features a young dancer and older man in revealing costumes, which could be seen as sexualizing the minor. It also analyzes Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and how it depicts stereotypical gender roles and objectifies women through Laura Mulvey's male gaze theory. Finally, it discusses Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" video and how she portrays herself in a sexualized manner, which some feel reduces women's status but was likely intended to sell records given her fame and knowledge that sexual content performs well commercially.
Spike jonze
My evaluation of music video director Spike Jonze and some of his music videos and styles within them.
Assingment 28
The document discusses two different types of music videos - a performance video for Radiohead's "Creep" and a narrative video for Eminem's "Without Me". The Radiohead video simply shows the band performing in a dark, cramped room, promoting their image as a rock band. The Eminem video tells a lighthearted yet darkly comedic story, showing his personality and humor while still conforming to conventions of rap music videos like featuring girls, fast cars, and drink. Both videos effectively promote the artists, with the Radiohead video emphasizing the live performance aspect and band members, while the Eminem video highlights his entertaining personality.
Michel gondry

His song "Nightcall" was featured in the film Drive and gained over 3 million YouTube views in one month. Kavinsky aims his 1980s-inspired music at audiences aged 25-30 but attracts listeners of various ages. He has been compared to artists like Daft Punk and Danger who share a similar style.
Eval Q1
This document discusses the creative process behind making a music video for a Kendrick Lamar song. The creator intended to follow conventions of the hip hop genre by reflecting the lyrics and themes of struggle in poor environments. However, they decided to focus more broadly on themes of gun and knife violence. While some elements like camera motion tried to fuse structured and improvised styles, the visual effects were not natural enough to fully achieve the look of an improvised internet rap video. Overall, the video matched Kendrick Lamar's style but not necessarily conventions of the wider hip hop genre.
Rahan snapshot
The document discusses the use of mise-en-scene in several rap music videos. Common elements across many rap videos include displaying expensive props like cars, clothing, and jewelry to portray wealth and status. Videos also often use dark lighting and feature women to reinforce stereotypes of the rap genre. Specific videos summarized include Drake's "Started From the Bottom" and "Versace", Rick Ross' "Boss", French Montana's "Worry Bout Nothing", and Krept and Konan's rap song.
Goodwins Theory Analysis
Andrew Goodwin's theory proposes that music videos demonstrate genre characteristics through conventions like club/party locations and dance routines. There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals, where lyrics are illustrated through matching images. Additionally, upbeat music is paired with upbeat, party-style visuals. Record labels demand close ups of artists and motifs that recur across their work, like LMFAO's unique dress style. Music videos also reference notions of looking through voyeuristic treatment of the female body and make intertextual references through techniques like movie-style introductions.
Genre research
Rap originated in the 1970s in America and became popular among African Americans in New York. DJ Kool Herc mixed funk and soul beats for MCs to rap over, coining the term. Over time, rap incorporated influences from other genres like techno and moved from live performances to prerecorded mixtapes. Many artists in the genre flaunt wealth, power, and luxury items to show off and boast about having women, money, and designer clothes. Drug use, illegal activities, and rivalry between artists also became common themes as the genre grew in popularity. Conventional artists in rap like 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, and Giggs are known for depicting themes of smoking, guns, violence, and
'All the small things' presentation
Blink 182's music video for "All The Small Things" parodies and mocks conventions of boy band music videos from the late 1990s, particularly The Backstreet Boys. Though the song's lyrics are about relationships, the video humorously portrays Blink 182 as a boy band through exaggerated costumes, poses, and settings that mimic other popular artists. While spoofing these genres, the video also uses techniques like close-ups and shots of adoring fans to promote Blink 182's own star image and popularity. Overall, the video lampoons boy band cliches in a way that still resonates with audiences today.
Assignment 20
The group learned from audience feedback that their original idea of an R&B video was not achievable or realistic. Most audiences prefer videos with strong narratives they can personally connect with. It was also learned that sticking to artists like Bastille or Saint Raymond would be better than attempting a rap video, which would be too difficult to replicate. Going forward, the group will change the genre to something more indie and less R&B/grime, include some narrative along with mostly performance elements in the new video, and look to previous students' works for inspiration.
Analysis of a music video using goodwin’s conventions
The music video for "Lost Generation" by Rizzle Kicks displays several conventions of music videos identified by Andrew Goodwin. It includes elements of multiple subgenres like pop, rap, and hip-hop. There is some relationship between the lyrics and visuals through references to TV shows. The cuts in the video match the beat of the music. Close-ups of the artists are used to emphasize their image, and there are references to popular culture through hashtags and social media that help the video appeal to broader audiences.
Analysis of game
The music video for "Game" was released on July 2nd and produced by Black Metaphor. It follows conventions of typical rap music videos, featuring the artists rapping toward the camera and establishing shots of a futuristic city. The artists are portrayed as wealthy individuals showing off flashy cars and jewelry. While the budget is unknown, production values are high, utilizing expensive vehicles, elaborate sets, and helicopter shots of a CGI city. The target audience includes fans of generic rap music who enjoy the artists' lyrics about women and possessions displayed prominently in the simple performance-style video.
All the Small Things Music Video Analysis
The music video for Blink 182's "All the Small Things" both tells a story and shows the band performing. It parodies and references many popular 1990s artists like the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera through recreating scenes from their music videos. Throughout the video, Blink 182 mocks the stereotypes of other bands and genres through quick cuts and references to make the scenes comedic. The band conveys that they are not a typical boy band through their unconventional style, music, and humor in their video.
Director research
Director David Meyers is known for directing music videos for artists like Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, and Rihanna. Some of his directorial techniques include using close-up shots of the artist to focus on them, chiaroscuro lighting to add drama, and bokeh lighting effects. He also matches the visual style of the video to the genre of music, such as using an urban skyline set for the urban pop song "No Broken Hearts" by Bebe Rexha. Meyers directs mainly R&B and pop-style videos and reinforces pop culture stereotypes through his use of bright colors and high-key lighting.

Different music videos for different genres
This document summarizes different music video styles based on genre. It discusses conventions for metal, rock, indie, pop, and rap music videos. For metal videos, it provides examples of Metallica and Dragonforce that use close-up shots and angles to connect with audiences. Rock videos like Guns N' Roses use black and white with close-ups. Indie videos like George Ezra and Bastille have abstract narratives. Pop videos like Justin Bieber and Shawn Mendes use choreography, lighting, and voyeurism. Rap videos by Eminem and Kanye West have sci-fi themes while Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea emphasize sexuality and the "male gaze."
Andrew Goodwin theory
The document discusses key components of music videos according to Andrew Goodwin. It lists 7 key ideas: 1) Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics through elements like performances. 2) There is a relationship between the lyrics and visuals. 3) A relationship also exists between the music and visuals. 4) Record labels influence close-ups of artists and developing motifs. 5) Videos often reference voyeurism and treating the female body. 6) Intertextual references to other works are common. 7) Videos are either primarily performance, narrative, or concept-based. It then analyzes the music videos for "Side to Side" by Ariana Grande and "Work From Home" by Fifth Harmony based on these components.
Music video analysis 2nd
The document analyzes the music video for the song "Cool Nuh" by Giggs. It examines the genre, setting, costumes, props, body language, and performance to show they follow conventions of rap music videos. The genre is rap, seen through elements like the artist's black coat and hood, and settings at night in the street and in a car. Costumes like gold chains and sunglasses also align with rap music stereotypes. While there are few props, they include a phone and bag that suggest illegal activities stereotypically associated with rap artists. The body language and movement of artists confidently walking and rapping fits expectations for the genre.

Many popular music videos from artists like Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Katy Perry are cited as examples that employ conventions like narrative, performance, varied camera work, and editing.
Without me analysis 2
Eminem is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold over 300 million records worldwide. He has won 15 Grammys and an Oscar. The music video for his song "Without Me" uses a disjunctive narrative structure where Eminem portrays Batman and Robin. It features fast editing and camera cuts to match the upbeat tempo of the song. Eminem is shown in baggy clothes of the early 2000s hip hop style. The visuals amplify and illustrate the lyrics, such as impersonating his mother and threatening another artist mentioned in the song.
