Connotations And Features Of A Music Video

The main connotations and features of a music video is that the visual elements used are generally amplified this is where the video goes beyond the lyrics being shown this is frequently used to show a consequence. The band is often used in the music video if not performing acting in the video. This shows that the music video has been mainly created to suit the artist and their preferences. The videos have the connotations of being narrative based and the camera movement shown matches the beat of the song. The camera is often used in the method of closeups this identifies the stars image which is often amplified through the genre. The special effects are usually simple and there is often more than one location used. There is a closed narrative which means it follows only the artist themselves and not someone else. The artist tends to be shown as unsuperficial and very ordinary.
