STAGE 1: TIPS ON MUSIC VIDEO RESEARCH (BLK)

In

You can work on this with someone else if you prefer, as long as you keep your own notes and use them as the basis for your portfolio


A: Watch a variety of music videos, and make notes using these questions:
1.Does the song belong to a particular genre?
2.Do the images illustrate, amplify or contradict the lyrics?
3.Do the images illustrate, amplify or contradict the music?
4.How are the performers shown?
5.Does the video present a voyeuristic view of women?
6.What other texts does the video refer to/ draw upon?

Summarise findings/compare and contrast/apply theory. Considerations of genre, audience appeal, form and style should underpin your notes. Link the videos and post your notes on your blog.
