Music Videos

I’ve got to say that I really enjoyed watching all those music videos today in class. It gave me a perspective of the evolution of music videos. It seems that it started out with just being videos of people dancing over an audio track. And as technology and music videos moved along they became more of a way to tell a story, situation, or expression of ones feelings. I kind of wish that the professor would have showed the entire music videos instead of just clips and excerpts. It also introduced me to some new music that I could explore. I was also able to admire the comedy and artistry in music videos. For example the for the comedy part I’m focusing more on the literal music video that was shown. Mainly because it just made it seem that much more weird and sort of stupid as to what message they were trying to portray. For the artistry I was very much attracted to the abstract music videos that made it look like the characters were drawn out or solid colors. I especially enjoyed The Beatles music video because it introduced so many developing film and animation techniques for music videos and movies in general.
