I think that everyone could agree that music videos have changed music ginormously. Not only do they show the world the musician's playing style, personality, and appearance, but they also can be very artistic and deep, or just plain hilarious. Music videos bring together two elements of entertainment into a breif, and occasionally amazing work of art. Here are some of my favorites.
Artistic
One of my favorite music videos to one of my favorite songs (seen below) invokes elements of art by both its topic and the way it was filmed. I'm not going to go into detail on this, because really, it's something that I can't explain in words. So just watch the video, k?

Humorous
I find that the most creative and artistic videos are made for the lesser known songs that have more meaning, whereas really funny videos are for the really popular songs that everyone knows about. Most of the time I'm not sure if they're even intended to be as funny as they are, but regardless, they're very humorous. Have fun watching the video below (often known as Numa Numa).

Fan Made
Fan made music videos are a huge phenomenon on YouTube and other video sharing sites. They can be made with clips from a movie or TV show, or with video recorded by the video maker. Here is a example of one that is both creative, hilarious, and fan made.
See You Again by Miley Cyrus
What are your favorites (out of these and personally)?

I think they are very cool. I love Miley cause she is hot. I think everyone can afford to watch more Miley.
ReplyDeleteI like the bed and circus ones, but I don't really like the songs, just the videos. My favorite music video of all time is The Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight". I even watched the silent movie it was based on, even though it was in French.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting if you could post about how fan videos affect our culture? Do you think today's generation is obssesed with pop culture? Does it control people's lives?

O-zone is ah-mazing!!!! That's all I have to say. Oh, wait. I do have more to say. I also loved the Miley Cyrus one. The best part of that was the sprinkler. It was so unexpected and hilarious.
