Research for Music video- Function of a music video

The function of a music video
 On the first lesson we were introduced to the functions of a music video. This was new to me as I had never learned about this topic. We were also introduced to the purpose of music videos.

What makes a music video a music video?
  • The music/track
  • Some genres have 'sexy' girls
  • Lip synching
  • Lighting
  • Types of cuts- 'Non linear editing'
  • Slow motion transitions
  • Outfits change a lot- unlike a film
  • Some genres are just about 'bling'
  • Repetition of images
  • Dance and performances
  • 'Sexyness'
  • Verse/chorus structure
  • Edit to the beat
Functions and purpose of Music videos
  • Sell the song- promotion
  • Makes song memorable
  • Promoting films and brands
  • Promotes/establishes the artist image- Eg: Riahnna
  • Establishes genre
  • Visual links across promo material
