Music Video
Since cinema was invented it created the ability to bring songs and music to life.
Advances in technology have transformed the music video into what it is today.

The early years
Surprisingly, music videos have been around since the 1920s
Many Jazz musicians of the time, such as Bessie Smith, made short films to accompany popular songs

Pop Music TV Shows
1970: The record industry discovers TV-Shows as a great opportunity to promote their artists
This developed into a focus on producing short "Promos", early music videos which started to replace the live performance of the artist on the TV-stage in the 1980s
1981 = The birth of MTV

Bohemian Rhapsody
1975: Bohemian Rhapsody a groundbreaking video released by Queen marked the beginning of the video era and set the language for the modern music video. The video is considered one of the first to use advanced visual effects

Goodwin’s Music Video Analysis
Andrew Goodwin writing in ‘Dancing in the Distraction Factory’ (Routledge 1992)
1. Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics (e.g. stage performance in rock video, dance routine.
2. There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals
3. There is a relationship between music and visuals
![Page 7: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Goodwin’s Music Video Analysis
4. The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style).
5. There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes, etc) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
6. There is often intertextual reference (to films, tv programmes, other music videos etc).
![Page 8: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Intertextuality and Cinema
It is perhaps not surprising that so many music videos draw upon cinema as a starting point, since their directors are often film school graduates looking to move on eventually to the film industry itself.
![Page 9: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Directors Who Started With Music Video Include:
David Fincher: Madonna Vogue and
(Se7en) Express Yourself.
Spike Jonze: Fatboy Slim Praise You(Where the wild things were)
Michael Gondry: Bjork, Foo Fighters(Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind)
![Page 10: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Intertextuality
It is perhaps not surprising that so many music videos draw upon cinema as a starting point, since their directors are often film school graduates looking to move on eventually to the film industry itself.

Intertextuality Examples
Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ (Mary Lambert 1985, drawing on ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’)
Material Girl Video
![Page 12: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Intertextuality
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) Madonna Material Girl (1985)
![Page 13: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Madonna Material Girl
The intertextual image is not necessarily of Monroe, but of the Hollywood archetype of the sexy blonde who uses her looks to get what she wants.
![Page 14: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Intertextuality and Film
There are many examples of cinematic references which dominate music video.
2Pac and Dr Dre’s ‘California Love’ (Hype Williams 1996) is similar to the Cowboy / Sci fi action adventure film ‘Mad Max’
California Love music video
![Page 15: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intertextuality and Television
Television is often a point of reference too:
The Beastie Boys’ spoof cop show titles sequence for Sabotage (Spike Jonze 1994)
Sabotage by The Beatie BoysREMs recent news show parody ‘Bad
Day’ (Tim Hope 2003).
REM Bad Day
![Page 16: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Intertextuality in Video Games
The influence of video games will predominate for the younger audience with the more plasticised look of characters emerging:
Robbie Williams’ ‘Let Love be your Energy’ dir. Olly Reed 2001
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers ‘Californication’dir.Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris 2000)
Also.. The Gorillaz Clint Eastwood
![Page 17: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Intertextuality
Robbie Williams Let Love Be Your Energy ( 2001)
Linkin Park Breaking The Habit (2003)
Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication 1999
![Page 18: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Intertextuality in Fashion and Photography
Visual reference in music video come from a range of sources, though the three most frequent are perhaps cinema, fashion and art photography.
Fashion sometimes takes the form of specific catwalk references and sometimes even the use of supermodels, as by George Michael in both ‘Father Figure’(Morahan/Michael 1988) and ‘Freedom’ (Fincher 1990).
![Page 19: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Intertextuality
Robert Palmer Addicted To Love (1986)
Shania Twain Man I Feel Like A Woman ( 1999)
![Page 20: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Intertextuality in Fashion and PhotographyProbably the most memorable example of
reference to fashion photography is Robert Palmer’s ‘Addicted to Love’ (Donovan 1986), parodied many times for its use of mannequin style females in the band fronted by a besuited Palmer.
Addicted to loveI Feel Like a Woman
Shania Twain copied it for her ‘Man I feel like a woman’ (Paul Boyd 1999) and Tamra Davis directed a $350 parody of it for Tone Loc’s ‘Wild Thing’ (1988).
![Page 21: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Intertextuality
John Stuart’s description of the music video “incorporating, raiding and reconstructing” is essentially the essence of intertextuality.
Using something with which the audience may be familiar to generate both potentially nostalgic associations and new meanings. It is perhaps more explicitly evident in the music video than in any other media form, with the possible exception of advertising.
![Page 22: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The notion of looking
Andrew Godwin has suggested in every muisc video there is some reference to ‘looking.’
This can include for example:- Screens within screens- Telescopes - Looking glass- Eyes - Indirect /direct address- Mirrors - voyeurism
PINK Who KnewMiley Cyrus Can't Be Tamed
![Page 23: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Star Image Motifs
The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style).

The Online Revolution
How has the new revolution of music downloads affected how bands/artists promote their material?
2 bands/artists
- One who used the internet to promote their music- One who did not use the internet to promote their
music – instead used art work, flyers, merchandise (perhaps use your unsigned band?)
How has the internet changed the promotion of music?
![Page 26: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Technical Codes
Camerawork
Camera movement, angle and shot distance all need to be analysed.
As with any moving image text, how the camera is used and how images are sequenced will have a significant impact upon meaning.
Camera movement may accompany movement of performers (walking, dancing, etc) but it may also be used to create a more dynamic feel to stage performance, by for instance constantly circling the band as they perform on stage.
![Page 27: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Technical Codes
CameraworkThe close up does predominate, as in most TV,
partly because of the size of the screen and partly because of the desire to create a sense of intimacy for the viewer. It also emphasises half of the commodity on sale (not just the song, but the artist, and particularly the voice)
![Page 28: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Technical Codes
EditingThough the most common form of editing associated
with the music promo is fast cut montage, rendering many of the images impossible to grasp on first viewing thus ensuring multiple viewing, there are videos which use slow pace and gentler transitions to establish mood.
This is particularly apparent for the work of many female solo artists with a broad audience appeal, such as Dido.
![Page 29: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Technical Codes
EditingOften enhancing the editing are digital effects
which play with the original images to offer different kinds of pleasure for the audience. This might take the form of split screens, colourisation and of course blockbuster film style CGI.
![Page 30: Advanced Production Powerpoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062405/554f4db0b4c905423f8b4fa9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Investigate Editing and Camerawork
Count how many cuts in 30 seconds of a typical music video:
http://www.youtube.com/
So… take more footage than you need
Perhaps use 2 cameras placed at different angles

Development Of Technical Codes
Most common form of editing associated with the music promo is fast cut montage
Many images impossible to grasp on first viewing ensuring multiple viewing
Split screens, colourisation are also commonly used effects
Non-representational techniques, in which the musical artist is never shown, become more common
Lack of edits, Long take/steadicam also a common experimentation
