In todays lesson we watched a little bit of 100 greatest music videos taken from channel 4. It is a good programme that explores the intreting elements of the most well known music videos. The progrmme showed documentry style music videos and videos that raise serious issues in which people can realate to as well as special effects, computer graphics and including famous actors to perform in artists music videos.Ones that stuck out to me were :
Bronski Beat- Smalltown Boy (I like the idea on making a music video raising issues in a documentry style. It hepls an audience feel safe and ok to be who they really are. Music should be about sending out a positive message)
Cornershop Brimful of Asha includes some really good ideas and special effects such as having the band members
on the cd sleve that come to life. The setting is very colourful and appealing.
Elton Johns song 'I want Love' was cleaverly done as Elton decided he didn't want to be in his own music video himself therefore he hiered a famous actor Robert Downey Jounier to lipscych along to his voice but also as an actor her knew that Robert Downey could portray the emotion felt in the lyrics to the audience. This created a new effect and worked fantasticly as we assume that this song is coming from the actor!.Here is the music video for 'I want love'
The Pet Shop Boys' version of Go West which was orrigionaly sung by The Village People. The duet realeased this song in 1993 and wanted to create a new image for their music video with the use of computergraphics. A critic commented on the programmed and said that videos are now the "Best and possible only form of art". The video is bery colourful includes alot if artisitic graphical features which is much more appealing than most modern day music videos.
