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.

A music video is a short film accompanied with music and imagery. They are mainly produced for promotional or artistic purposes. In modern day they are usually made to promote the album of the artist or to promote the song further.

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.
