conventions of music videos

Lyric interpretation
how the lyrics are thought of or what people believe that each lyric means or what is ment by each lyric. In all songs the lyrics can be literal and they describe what you see or they can be thought provoking.


Extending or consolidating meaning
This is when you use symbolism and mise en scene to push the meaning or at least create more meaning or to bring the lyrics together into a visual explanation of what the song actually means


Focus on the performer
there is 3 types of performance dance, song and instrumental in this example this is an example of an instrumental piece


Lighting for mood
The lighting of the music video is just as important as in other media outlet such tv, radio, film magazines most media outlets require lighting for a different mood to one another


Pace and cuts of the music video
this is to suit the pace of the song as the faster the song cuts the faster the music usually which gives more immersion to the song for the audience as the song is dictating the pace of the visuals


Camera angles
the different camera angles will affect the story of the video as each camera angle gives a different view and it gives a different meaning for each
