In- concert and ‘as- live’ Footage

This is a rock band called Metallica; we can see that they are performing on a stage. Why? Because they want to give their audience an insight into what It would be like if they came to one of their performances and watched it live. Now a music video like this would help to generate loads or a decent amount of money for the band and for their company, because when their fans see how good a music video like this is, they would then think about how it would actually be like if they were there in person, this then makes them buy a concert ticket and therefore money will be generated. If they where to sell this online we know that barely anyone buys music online so they wanted to distribute 

their music through concert performances.

Interpretative

This is a interpretive music video, this music video is by O.T. Genesis. There is something called styles which we use to describe music videos, the main one that links to this music video is Illustrative. Illustrative simply means when you see something on screen and is portraying the lyrics which are being said by the artist. At 3:50 he says ‘’ I’m in love with the COCO’’ and on screen visuals is reflecting the lyrics by showing the coco which he is talking about, so there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals which we see/audience. Because he is actually showing what he is talking about lets the audience understand that there’s more to what he’s saying and allows them to try and unruffle the purpose behind the music video

Narrative

Narrative music videos always have some sort of story line, it might be obvious or blunt but it will always have some sort of story line. Artist who sand this song are Dr.Dre and Eminem. We can see that there is some sort of story being told in this music video, as the music video shows the contrast between the two artists, another way to measure a music video for narrative is also by listening really carefully to the lyrics. There is no performance in this music video so it backs up my point even more about it being a narrative

Impressionist

This is an example of a conceptual music video, because one we don’t even see the artist featuring in her own music video, and there is a reason for that. The music video is by Sia – Elastic Heart Feat. We can see that there is a small girl and an older man locked up inside a cage, which shows that they are both trapped together. When we watch the music video we can see that the man is very aggressive, and expresses his anger and masculinity by climbing the cage and his quick pace movement. In conclusion this music video is demonstrating two sides of the artist; she wanted them to focus on the two talents so they would get the meaning behind the music video hence why she did not feature herself inside it. This then goes on to create deeper meaning.

Referencing

Referencing is when a music video is, making reference to another media works.   For example if there was a music video which incorporated key aspects of things which where featured in ‘’ attack the block’’ then the main music video would be making reference to that film. Even products as well, if an iphone was featured in the music video, the music video would be doing the advertising for the company.

Allusion 
This music video is an example of an Allusion because we can see the Artist referencing himself, then we can see that he implicated multiple versions of himself almost as though he is trying to confuse the audience as too which one of the slim shady is him.

Intertexuality

This means when a music video gives a reference to something that already exsits and it could be a Tv show or a Game or what not. This is an example of intertextuality as we can see that the artist is making links to a video game. When you listen to the instruments playing in the back ground suck as the drums and kick drums we can see that behind each aggregated beat there would be a visual of the game playing and someone being killed, this could suggest that this artist is very dangerous or could just be reflecting his pain and anger.
