Research: Music video I like Reseach


Music video
A music video is a short film usually 3 to 4 minutes long which integrates a song and imagery. They are frequently produced for promotional reasons which can be promoting an new artist, film and so on it also can be used for artistic purposes.  Music videos are mostly used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings.  Music videos are made in many different styles such as live action and animations. They give an visual pleasure to the audience rather than just listening to words. 

Analysis of a music video I like
The music video I have chosen that Is one of my favourite is t pain featuring Lil Wayne I can’t believe it. The genre of this music video is r and b. the narrative of the  song and video is the artist t pain and Lil Wayne are trying to impress a girl by showing how good life would be if she was with either of them. I found this music video extremely creative and interesting to watch. The imagery that is used in this video is very excellent and relates to the lyrics. I like watching it as it has great special effects and digital imagery added to it which is very entertaining and eye catchy. Also the editing goes with the beat which makes the video rhythmic. All effects in the video goes with the lyrics. It also many ideas put into the video in a way which adds flow to the song. It also has visual pleasure included such as women dancing. The video is quite narrative as it does have parts which tells the story of the lyrics. Such as where t pain says “i can put you in a mansion” there is a part of a mansion with pain and the girl on a balcony. The artists are narrating in the video with both of them signing. There are many close up shots of the artist singing and wide shots of dancing.  I think that this way of producing a music video is such an excellent and creative and is very interesting to watch as there is so much going on and things that might be very hard to get hold of to film would be easy if you use this type of digital editing.




Below is two narrative screen shots in the video first one the singer says "i can take you to Costa Rica" and second one he says "i can put you in a mansion"
