Music Videos

THE MUSIC VIDEO I LIKE



The Jackson Five - I Want You Back
This video is definitely one of my favourites becuase it is almost like a cartoon series. It has a storyline and also the typical 'good guys' 'bad guys' background. There isn't really much to say about this video, except for the fact it is both conventional and unconventional. It is conventional in that there is an underlying storyline to the video, making the narrative sturcture of the video quite typical. However, this video is also unconventional because there is no shots of the artist singing or lip-synchronising to the song, and neither is the actual band featured in the video apart from the start briefly.

A CONVENTIONAL MUSIC VIDEO



Alesha Dixon - Let's Get Excited
This is very conventional because it has a storyline of her meeting a boy in the nightclub and planning what she wants to do. Or something along those lines! There is lip-sync, dance, the artist is featured and also it is very genre-specific. This video is fast paced to reflect the song, and maybe the storyline?
