In June we did some research on music videos to prepare us for the A2 year.
We were shown how to analyse a music video, de-construct it and focus on key points of each video that belonged to a specific genre and its key features that made that video belong in that genre.
We looked at stereotypical music videos for each genre and what they consisted of. We looked at the very first music video "video killed the radio star" (although "bohemian rhapsody" was technically first). to see how far we've come from the original concept.
Then we looked at event music videos which are big occurrences in the music industry and usually have a very big budget. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson was one of these event videos and cost $500.000 to make. It was played 2 times an hour every hour the day it was released.
Finally we looked at the most successful music videos. The ones that have a lot of hype or a sense of comedy are the ones that tend to achieve a higher status. "Gangnam Style" continues to be the top music video in the world.
