music videos

Big Pink, Dominoes:
I like the colours, lighting used in this video, the slow motion shattering of the ice and the shots through the ice.

Carl barat, run with the boys : I like the narrative in this video

Muse, Times running out: I like the style of it, with the colours, and dancers; it fits in with Muse's iconography.

Placebo, Infra red:

Babylon Circus:
I like the narrative used in this video, it helps you understand the lyrics if you don't speak French, I also like the effects.

Santigold - Say Aha
In this video it swaps violence and gore for bright colours and sweets but still looks quite graphic.

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill
I like the style of the animation and the intertextual reference in the video; this normally features in most of the Gorrilaz music videos.

Why do bands/artists like music videos?
2) Brings a visual element to the song.
3) An excellent way to promote the band; music channels (The Box, Kerrang, MTV, music channels (YouTube, Vimeo).
4) its fun.
5) They get to work with great directors; Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham ...
6) The story of the song is told in a visual (often film - like) way- lots of music videos have a narrative, film element.
7) Music Videos can show the personality of the band.
8) music video can be incorporated into live set ( e.g. the Gorrillaz).
9) Allows the band to do stuff they cannot do on stage.
10) Product placement/endorsement ( Lady Gaga Telephone)
