Initial Research into Music Videos

Before this project I was aware of music videos and how much effort and money was spent on them, but I had never really sat down and watched the music channels or looked them up on youtube. So this initial research has been extremely interesting and enjoyable because most of the artists I have been looking at play around with the medium and have fun with the concept.


To start the project Sarah and I (we are a team of 2) talked and noted down our favourite or most suitable artists and had a look at some of their most admired/famous videos. Here are the notes we took...


  Pink                        Avril Lavigne           

- Stupid Girl              - Girlfriend
- So What?                - What the Hell
- Perfect
- Fun House


Katy Perry                  Taylor Swift 
- Last Friday Night          - Mine
                                        - 15
                                        - Love Story
 Elbow                            - Picture to Burn
- Grounds for divorce


Scouting for Girls          Corrine Bailey Rae
- She's so Lovely             - Just Like a Star
- Its Not About You its Me

Muse
Various elements


Details of the advantages and disadvantages of the most important videos will follow...
I am also keen to include some form of humor or spoof element (as it seems popular) into our video so I will also research into that area...
