How can I identify a Music Video?

I extracted features on how I thought you could identify a music video. Rather than using a genre similar to my own, I decided to use several different ones and compare them. I thought that this task would be useful, as I can see whether or not I have the features in my own video and what is missing.

*NOTE FORM*

Bjork – Love

• Visual fits with the song and corresponds with the beat of the music
• The artist features as a robot in the video, identification. She is getting involved in the idea of the video, promotes her as an artist.

Lemonjelly – Spacewalk

• 50% involves a visualiser, could appear lazy to the audience.
• “Feel good” feeling, matches to the up-beat song

Lordi – Blood Red Sandman

• No dialogue other than screaming (SFX)
• Similar to a Horror movie – Intended?
• The band approaches the victim as if to attack, this could reflect their power and strength as a band
• Band performing infront of the victim. Performance will promote the band
• Interesting and unusual – This will interest any audience as they will want to continue watching to find out what will happen next.
• Stamping foot to the beat, artist getting involved in the music
• Fast edits to the beat of the music

Madonna – Material Girl

• Introducing artist through dialogue – Director to Producer.
• After the introduction from the Director, the Producer reveals that he has a love interest in the artist. this is where the song begins. Clear narrative?
