Successful Music Videos


Unsuccessful Music Videos


Analysis of 3 Music Videos


Information from looking at music videos

What do you think makes a good music video?

  • a variety of shots/scenes
  • something that looks realistic
What conventions did you notice in the videos you watched for homework?
  • switching between the different shots to make the music video more entertaining and gripping to watch
What elements of the music videos you watched would you like to adapt in to your own work?
  • different scenes
  • bright colours (eye catching)
  • powerful scenes 
  • maybe a storyline/narrative

Analysis of 5 music videos


Arctic Monkeys - R U MINE
  • Effective as shows Alex Turner's character and personality
  • Can be quite plain and boring at points
Vampire Weekend - A Punk
  • Upbeat music video which goes well with the song
  • Some shots are too long so can feel repetitive
Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This 
  • Different scenes make it look life like
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die
  • Use of props is effective as makes the overall video seem realistic
  • Video quite slow
Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know
  • The use of animation is extremely effective
  • May seem boring to some people

My all time favourite music video:
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
