Music Video Class Notes

The Construction of Music Videos
(Click to enlarge image)



Notes:
  • Do not JUST follow the lyrics - interpret them and construct a narrative around your own, creative interpretation.
  • Opening shots is often longer to establish the mise-en-scene, characters, and mood.
  • Could include intertextual references that only your target audience would understand, therefore adding niche audience appeal.
  • When editing - change pacing and cut lengths according to the moments in the song.
  • Be symbolic.
