-Andre - Great video - of particular interest in this one would be the manipiulation of Eminem's star image and his 'meta-narrative'. He works very hard to make his work seem 'real' and authentic i.e. that we believe that what he is writing is what he is actually going through in his personal life]]> 2016-11-01 09:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134411564 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134412118 This music video falls into Narrative and and illustration
-Conor
Yes, quite right - with a bit of performance, too. Classic song, classic video. Some really interesting use of lighting and set design in this one. Always of interest in Eminem's videos is how he portrays the tension between being a superstar and seeming 'normal' to his fans. ]]> 2016-11-01 09:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134412118 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134412199 James. What a joyous video! All narrative and an amplification rather than illustration of the song. Of most note in this one is the representation of old people (and of bikers). There are also lots of codes (shorthand symbols) to be interpreted such as the broken plant signifying a potential emergency and the many signifers of age/ infirmity.

There are lots of codes and conventions to analyse here but you might like to think about choosing a different one that features different elements beyond just narrative.]]> 2016-11-01 09:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414316 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414671 This music video falls into Disjuncture

-Conor - Seemingly a disjuncture-type video but perhaps the narrative cartoon is an amplification of the theme of paranioia suggested in the title/ lyric. I would stick with the Eminem video for analysis, however.]]> 2016-11-01 09:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414671 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414736 Rhodri - Again, I love this - such a clever and unusual video concept with all of its 'intertextual' references the rest of the album and the artists that collaborated on it (De La Soul, Snoop Dog, Lou Reed etc.) Because this innovates the pop video so much, I would be tempted to stick to something a bit more conventional.]]> 2016-11-01 09:53:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414736 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414988 ioan jones - Great song, great video. You can say a lot about the White Stripes use of red and in this song look at the representation of Mexico/ Mexicans. The performance elements are always very striking in White Stripes videos.]]> 2016-11-01 09:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414988 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414994 llyr - Nice video. Heavily based on performance both live and lip-synced. Notable features are the very low colour saturation - almost black and white look (why, do you think?) and the fact that there is almost no direct address - the singer does not look at the viewer hardly at all.]]> 2016-11-01 09:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134414994 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134415030 Gareth - a really vibrant video featuring lots of music video 'tropes': the open-topped car in the desert, glamorous costumes, lots of colour etc. Of particular interest in this video would be the representation of either young women or men (even though there is only one brief appearance.)]]> 2016-11-01 09:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134415030 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134415097 - Josh - A really interesting variation of the music video as a tie-in with a movie which features one of the main characters of the movie performing with the artists in the video; mixing the film narrative with the song narrative and the artists' image. There are lots of hip-hop tropes and conventions in this video for you to analyse e.g. the money, cars and highly visible weapons, in this case knives.]]> 2016-11-01 09:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134415097 sed16037324 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134426154 Duygu - a very clever narrative video in which the narrative is played in reverse and with the lip-synced performance runs forwards. The singer is both performer and actor in the narrative. It is interesting an amplification of the idea of 'going back to the start' and there is an interesting shift from him addressing the viewer directly to being in more of a third person narrative as the video progresses (backwards)! ]]> 2016-11-01 11:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134426154 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134426511 Rhodri - I love this video, too, but I would like to see if you can find a video that features a 'real' rather than animated band - you will probably find it much easier to analyse.]]> 2016-11-01 11:16:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134426511 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134426693 Bethan. This is a beautifully-shot video filmed entirely on location (no studio). Entirely narrative/ amplification-based. No performance at all. There is a really effective sense of tension established by filming the two charatacters separately in the same locations - will they meet? When they do the video becomes a celebration of the wonderfully fleeting nature of the holiday romance. The representation of African people also is interesting in this video.]]> 2016-11-01 11:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134426693 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134432207 This is a beautiful video featuring a really effective narrative element intercut with performance elements. There is a nice sense of synaesthaesia (thought beats) in the way the images are edited to fit the music.]]> 2016-11-01 11:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/134432207 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/136021902 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bAPlojfgO0]]> 2016-11-08 09:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/136021902 noodlephase1234 https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/185133012 2017-09-06 14:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen/My_Music_Video/wish/185133012
