30 Music Videos - ResearchBy Ciaran Ahern
• Name: How Deep is Your Love
• Artist: Calvin Harris & Disciples
• Genre: Deep House
• Type of video: Narrative (Amplification)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Send out a message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgqUJOudrcM
• Inspiration:Filter used to make an effective flicker
effect.
Layers and filters used create a
distorted, uneasy atmosphere
Use of different filters create a
artistic transition
• Name: Can't Feel My Face
• Artist: The Weeknd
• Genre: R&B
• Type of video: Performance
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEI4qSrkPAs
• Inspiration:Lots of performance shots could give us
an idea of shot types
I like the use of fluorescent lights and
lens flare
I like the effects used to represent the
screen burning at the end
I also like the flame effects use to show
the artist on fire while on stage
• Name: See You Again
• Artist: Wiz Khalifa ft. Charie Puth
• Genre: Hip Hop
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Illustrative)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Synergy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk
• Inspiration:I feel time lapse looks effective in
many music videos
I like the idea of a calm establihing shot, I felt it was effective here as you see the sun rising in the east at the start of the song and setting in the west at the end of the song to
symbolise a passing of time,
adding to the theme of the songI think the shots of the car could help us with shots of moving objects
• Name: What Do You Mean
• Artist: Justin Bieber
• Genre: Electronic Dance/Pop
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK_0jXPuIr0
• Inspiration:I think introducing the music video with a title looks effective on high
budget music videos
I like the idea of using masks as
they can be used to create a different
atmosphereThis was an
interesting shot as it showed the
characters falling in slow motion
Again we see the use of fluorescent
lights
• Name: Style
• Artist: Taylor Swift
• Genre: Pop Rock
• Type of video: Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CmadmM5cOk
• Inspiration:I think overlying a video
over another can create a nice effect
I feel the use of lens flare here along with the pale filter creates a nostalgic
look
I like the idea of overlapping someone else's body features with another person as it creates a
innovative, unique look
• Name: Roar
• Artist: Katy Perry
• Genre: Pop
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Illustrative)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevxZvSJLk8
• Inspiration:This video uses a cartoon
title to introduce the narrative to imply there is a
story behind it
I like the transition between the cartoon introduction and
the start of the narrative
I think the idea of animating an image out of lights would
be very effective
I also like the idea of the reflection being different to what it should as it could be used to give a message to
the audience
• Name: Happy
• Artist: Pharrell Williams
• Genre: Soul
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Send a message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM
• Inspiration:
I like the idea of using a diverse group of
people as it shows the song is targeted at a
wide audience
The use of smart clothing could be
used in our performance if we
want our performer to look appealing In a performance,
dancing creates a light hearted atmosphere
reflecting positively on the artist
• Name: Counting Stars
• Artist: OneRepublic
• Genre: Folk Rock
• Type of video: Performance
• Purpose: Increase the songs income, Attract audience to performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_nvWreIhg
• Inspiration:
The majority of this music video was a performance of the band, which means it is very good for
understanding shot types and duration in a performance
music video
• Name: Titanium
• Artist: David Guetta ft. Sia
• Genre: House Pop
• Type of video: Narrative (Amplification)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg
• Inspiration:Again I like the
idea of the camera tracking an object and feel it could be helpful in our
video
I think this is a effective shot it strongly adds to the supernatural
narrative
I feel silhouettes look very effective in music videos as
it creates a powerful image
while keeping the subject
anonymous I like the special effects used here to
create the explosion as it
creates a memorable ending
• Name: Opposite of Adults
• Artist: Chiddy Bang
• Genre: Alternative Hip Hop
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Send a message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep1ilHpTvSM
• Inspiration:The large heads on the
small bodies creates a light hearted atmosphere which
matches the tone of the song
This transition/filter is effective as it shows the
video playing on a film reel to create a nostalgic effect
and then zooms into the clip to continue with the music
video
I like the freeze frames and rewinding seen during this
part of the music video
I also like the freeze frames between the two different clips merged into one as it creates a unique effect that
isn't seen in many music videos
• Name: Demons
• Artist: Imagine Dragons
• Genre: Alternative Rock
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Increase the songs income, Attract audience to performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWRsgZuwf_8
• Inspiration:
Another music video that is mostly
performance, we see a variety of long shots mid shots and lose
ups, however there is still some narrative in
the middle of the performance. I also
noticed that the editing follows the tempo of the song
• Name: Pompeii
• Artist: Bastille
• Genre: Indie Rock
• Type of video: Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Made memorable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F90Cw4l-8NY
• Inspiration:This is quite a unique title and looks very effective as most music videos use
different fonts for the song title and the
band name
This music video is made memorable by
the peoples eyes being completely
black
I like the idea of using a rural setting as it
means there are less interferences meaning it is easier to keep the
continuity of a narrative
• Name: Clocks
• Artist: Coldplay
• Genre: Alternative Rock
• Type of video: Performace
• Purpose: Increase the songs income, Attract audience to performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d020hcWA_Wg
• Inspiration:
This video is completely
performance so should be a good video to show us
how to keep performance videos interesting by using
different shots, speeds and colours
• Inspiration:• Name: Oh My Love
• Artist: The Score
• Genre: Indie Pop
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXTg7owzmYo
I like the title in this video as the artistic, chalk font looks very summery and therefore suits the music
video
I also like the isolated feel in this video as it creates a
sense of freedom and happiness
Another concept I like is the idea of having a group of
close friends again setting a positive tone
• Name: Photograph
• Artist: Ed Sheeran
• Genre: Pop
• Type of video: Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Send a message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSDgHBxUbVQ
• Inspiration:
I like how in this video we see how Ed Sheeran has changed over time. I also like how all the shots are amateur footage (Handheld and poor quality) as it
create a nostalgic feel.
• Name: Sugar
• Artist: Maroon 5
• Genre: Pop
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Amplificaion)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09R8_2nJtjg
• Inspiration:
This video also has lots of shots of their car which will
be useful if we chose to use car
This is a very unique shot as you often wouldn’t see a fisheye lens used indoors
I think having the artist/band against a plain
background is effective as it puts all your focus on them
• Name: Wake Me Up When September Ends
• Artist: Greenday
• Genre: Alternative rock
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Send a Message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU9JoFKlaZ0
• Inspiration:
This music video has a very strong narrative, almost like a film as it has a long narrative introduction and a
pause for a narrative in the middle
This also has quite a bit of performance which again can be
used to influence our video
This video has lots of special effects to
emphasise the strong narrative
• Name: Shut Up and Dance
• Artist: Walk The Moon
• Genre: Indie Pop
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Illustrative)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Made memorable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JCLY0Rlx6Q
• Inspiration:I like how the
name of the band is very big and bold while the
name of the song is more irregular
I like the bright, colourful colour scheme and the effects used as it helps create an
energetic atmosphere to
match the songs tempo
• Name: The Night
• Artist: Avicii
• Genre: Progressive House
• Type of video: Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Send a message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtF6Jej8yb4
• Inspiration:I like the idea of leaving the
artists log around at different points of the music
video
I like the fast forwarded shots around the car s there are several different angles
all sped up
I like the use of a silhouette as it hides the identity of
the people and completely relies on body language and
spacial relationship to convey meaning
Again I like the use of time-lapse to show a passing of
time
• Name: The Man Who Can't Be Moved
• Artist: The Script
• Genre: Pop Rock
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (illustrative)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS9o1FAszdk
• Inspiration:
This video is useful as it is split between performance and narrative and therefore
gives a good idea of how much time should be given to each scene of the music video. I also like the use of
colour correcting I this video to make the
highlights very bright with a blue tint as it gives it a
surreal atmosphere
• Name: Rather Be
• Artist: Clean Bandit ft.Jess Glynn
• Genre: House
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-M1AtrxztU
• Inspiration:
This video is memorable as it has the artists logo
hidden in the music video multiple times, this is
effective as it makes you concentrate on their video a lot more than you usually
would
• Name: Sky Full of Stars
• Artist: Coldplay
• Genre: Alternative Rock
• Type of video: Performance
• Purpose: Increase the songs income, Attract audience to performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPRjCeoBqrI
• Inspiration:
I like this video as it is very unique. Firstly, it is filmed all in one take up
until the last minute which means they get a live reaction from the
audience in the streets. I also like the fact that
even though it is all filmed in one take, you still have a variety of
camera angles.
• Name: Let Her Go
• Artist: Passenger
• Genre: Folk Rock
• Type of video: Performance/ Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Increase the songs income, Attract audience to performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBumgq5yVrA
• Inspiration:
This video is mostly performance therefore will
give us a good idea of camera angles and shots to
use if we chose to do a performance music video
I like how the narrative is showing them setting up for his concert. This is effective as it is unique and gives you
a different view you normally wouldn’t see in a
music video
• Name: All of Me
• Artist: John Legend
• Genre: R&B
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the Artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg
• Inspiration: I like how this video has a black and
white filter throughout as it
creates a dramatic effect. I also like the opening shot as it hides the artists
identity, while not revealing what he is
looking atI like the shots filmed underwater as it is
very unique however looks strange
I like the reflection in this shot as it gives a creative, innovative
shot to show performance
I like how at the end, it shows footage from the artists
wedding as it adds to the relationship
shown through the video
• Name: Unorthadox
• Artist: Wretch 32 ft. Example
• Genre: Hip Hop
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the artist, Increase the songs income, Send a Message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LysZJBo2HI4
• Inspiration: I like how at the start of the video it opens with a shot showing the meaning of the title of the song as
any viewer who didn’t know what it meant
would now understand the lyricsI like this shot as over
this sequence of shot, it spells unorthodox
while showing images of unconventional
people in the background
I like this shot as the movement is quite
unusual which shows a different way of tracking moving
objects
I think the effects used here are quite cool as the person seems very casual with the shoes are floating around him adding to the theme
of being unusual
• Name: Arabella
• Artist: Arctic Monkeys
• Genre: Hard Rock
• Type of video: Performance/
• Purpose: Promote the Artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj8r3qmOoZ8
• Inspiration:
I like the movement of the shots to create a old effects as it gives the effect that it is being
played on a reel of film rather than a digital video format. I also like the black flickers used again to give
it an old look. The greyscale filter also adds
to this effectI like the variety of shot speeds during this video
and how it changes speeds spontaneously. I also
noticed how the camera is rarely still and is mostly
recorded handheld. These produce an energetic tone
to the videoI like the use of
performance here as it is very quick and cuts
randomly inbetween clips
• Name: No Type
• Artist: Rae Sremmurd
• Genre: Hip Hop
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Promote the Artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzMrK-aGCug
• Inspiration:I think the colour filters used on single frames
creates a warm, summer atmosphere
I also found it interesting how all the narrative was in slow
motion. I feel this emphasises their
emotions during this time
I like the idea of using a beach as a scene for
a summer song and feel this video is great
at shooting on a beach as it captures the warm, relaxed
atmosphere
• Name: Light It Up
• Artist: Eliza and The Bear
• Genre: Rock
• Type of video: Performance/Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Promote the Artist, Increase the songs income, Send a Message
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb7nHmCf9q8
• Inspiration:I like the very simplistic font saying the artists name at
the start to instantly promote them.
I like how it juxtaposes the two narratives to show how these people are keeping
upbeat in a lonely situation. I feel this reflects a positive
atmosphere on the band
I like the idea of having the band against a solid white
background as it completely emphasises their talent
• Name: The City
• Artist: The 1975
• Genre: Pop Rock
• Type of video: Performance/Conceptual (Symbolic)
• Purpose: Promote the Artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuihJInaeN4
• Inspiration:Again, I like the idea of an
overlay over a persons body as it adds a layer of texture
This video also has lot of performance clips so can
give us an idea of different shot types, angles and
durations
I like how the music video is completely filmed against a
black background as it would be very low budget
and simple
• Name: I Found
• Artist: Amber Run
• Genre: Alternative Rock
• Type of video: Narrative (Disjuncture)
• Purpose: Promote the Artist, Increase the songs income
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj6V_a1-EUA
• Inspiration:This is unique as
instead of telling you the groups name, it
gives you the groups logo
I like this shot as it hides the people
sneaking through the house by shining light
at and around the camera
I like the effects used here as it creates a
distorted atmosphere as though you were the character being held for
ransomI like the shots shown as the car is driving to
show a passing of time through changing
scenery
