Task 2 - Music Video Conventions

For this particular task I was informed to research on these particular topics, I have done so in a slide format.

A) - Define the following conventions of music video in your words and the effect they may have on the audience.

• Lyric interpretation
• Extending or consolidating song's meaning
• Focus on performer
• Lighting for mood
• Pace of cuts

B) - Give an example of a music video which shows the following:

• special effects such as chroma key (green screen)
• multi-image 
• cutting to a beat
• an artist miming and lip syncing 
• animation
• in-concert footage
• as "as-live" performer
• an allusion or reference to another musical artist

C) - Briefly define the following styles of music video in your own words and give an example of it being applied in an existing music video.

• narrative
• impressionist
• interprtative
• surrealist
• pastiche/ homage
• parody

Here is the slide show:
