Whole music video analysis



For Yung Lean - Miami Ultras, the representation of gender is shown through the fact that he is wearing a dress in the music video which is essentially breaking the gender role through the fact that he is a male wearing a females clothing. It can cause controversy but also break stereotypes which is always a good thing. 

From this i can see what is included in a specific genre of music, it shows what it takes to make a music video of that genre and what representations could be shown in these videos and whether it is performance, narrative based or both.

Katy Perry - Chained To The Rhythm

Narrative- A lot of problems with the world are being shown in this music video, the theme is trying to point out that there is problems with the world and that they are not necessarily being acknowledged properly so this music video is trying to spread awareness. An example would be in the music video you can see a roller coaster ride meant to represent the housing market and you can see it dropping meaning that the market is failing as a whole and that it is an issue for a lot of people.  Another thing that is being shown here is that it's trying to spread awareness for self expression and being yourself and this is shown through all the people walking in single file at the same speed making the same hand movements at the exact same time, this is showing that they are all the same whereas Katy Perry is doing her thing and walking around not following the crowd which means she is being herself which then goes to show she is the role model in this situation and that can encourage

Audience Questionnaire Analysis

Music video questionnaire analysis Here are some of the results that I got from the questionnaire I carried out: All the people asked were males  All the people asked were under the age of 18  They all answered yes to 'do you like watching music videos'  There was a fairly diverse amount of answers for what the persons favourite genre is  A lot of people said they prefer narrative and performance based videos equally rather than preferring one of them Everyone who answered said they like special effects and animation  From this research i can gather that i need to include both narrative and performance based factors in my music videos because that is what is more preferred than including one of them. It also shows that i have a range of skills and can include different types of music videos rather than using one.

Viral Music Videos

The definition of viral in terms of an image or a video is something that rapidly circulates the internet from user to user in a matter of days. Chocolate rain is a viral song that was released in 2007 by a person called Tay Zonday and it has been viewed over 114 million times on YouTube. It was ranked the hottest viral video in 2007 and was given a YouTube award in 2008 under the music category. The music video simply involved Tay Zonday standing in a room singing into a microphone. One thing that made it viral was when Tay would move away from the mic to breathe in because he held his breath when singing, this led to this segment of the video being parodied. The show became so popular that it led to being performed by Tay Zonday on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. It even blew up to the point where it was mentioned in an episode of South Park along with the Office.
