'Once in a lifetime - Talking Heads

During a session we looked at the famous music video 'Once in a lifetime' by the talking heads. we then took notes and this is what I learnt.

What is the purpose of this music video?

  • To promote the song- in their music video they purposley had the singer dance crazy because when you think of the song you think of the lead singers crazy dancing.
  • The video is sopssed to be confusing to keep the audience intrested.

Why is it a successful music video?

  • Word of mouth
  • Creativity
  • Meladramatic lypsyncing
  • Editing is random and matches the weirdness of the music video
  • Image

Purpose & success criteria

What is the purpose of a music promotion video?

Advertisment-sells-raises profile

Draws attention to music/song

Illustrates the song- paints a picture to a visual audience and tells us a story

Expersses an individuals emotions

Markets an image- people become intrested in the image for both negative and positive reasons (" bad press is good press") this means people will still pay attertion to the artist/song so it is still getting publicity.

Promotes artist/singer/album

Some make an artistic statement just like 'once in a lifetime' but Talking heads.
