What makes a good music video?

In class, we at first discussed what we think makes a good music video.  Our tutor, Becky, went round the class and asked us individually.  This was to get the class thinking about ourselves as a target audience and what we want from a music video.  This was especially helpful due to the fact that many pop, rock, R n' B and rap videos are targeted at teenagers and young adults.

The majority of the responses were along the lines of:

  • A good narrative that relates to the song
  • Strong imagery
  • Comedy
  • Location and costume change
  • Variety in general
  • Artist performance
We then watched some music videos and identified the conventions of music videos as a form, and the conventions of the different genres.
