This is a video from "IS TROPICAL" called "THE GREEKS" i found this video incredibly interesting as it was a completely different approach to a music video, and it really makes you think what the message the band and the director of the video are trying to bring across. There are a wide range of messages that this video could be trying to bring across in this video, such as kids minds being violent and kids being corrupted by the media and certain films to do with violence and war. Another thing this music video could be trying to bring across in its message is the idea that kids are becoming more like adults and are growing up very quickly, or at least there mind sets are. I also find the fact that the camera switches from happy images of children's toys back to the war situation very suddenly is very interesting as this video could be seen as very controversial.
This second video is from "Junior Senior" and is called "Move Your Feet" I find this video interesting because it is unlike any other video I have ever seen. For starters it does not show the artists at all, and instead shows animations. There are some links between the lyrics and the visuals with lyrics such as "move your body" which are repeated generally through this song, are brought across in this video with images of different objects dancing.
The Greek's music video is interesting and obviously constructed to promote controversy, it seems that the action revolves around fantasies boy children may have when playing computer games. With both of these music videos you NEED to engage with media concepts and not just give your opinion. I appreciate your enthusiasm but you need to do some research into the artists and reference documents I've given you on how to construct an analysis of a music video.
ReplyDeleteFor example, generic features, purpose of narrative, relationship between lyrics and visuals, representational issues, how the single is being marketed and who the target audience is.
At present reflecting minimal conceptual understanding but enthusiasm is evident.
