Lady gaga Alejandro in my view is a very different music video in terms of the concept and theme. Lady gaga has almost created her own style and conventions when she creates a music video. Her music videos in general are very crazy and over done, In the video above we denote men dressed up as women, however Lady gaga always has something that surprises the audience, she likes to use a lot of twist. Her costumes are very explicit in terms of what she reveals to the audience, this may be the oppositional reading, where parents believe she is a bad role model for being on screen half naked.
The costumes however may attract the audience to talk about her and create publicity and a buzz. The colour of the costume matches the mood and the lighting as we denote her in black, black connotes mystery. The lighting is low key which also helps set up the mood of the video and gives the audience a real feel of the video. The video is lady gaga performing to the audience in different concepts, this shows she has different talents and much more to her performance then the same thing. It also allows the audience to see what she can do without going to a concert. However the performance may get boring after a while to the audience, so if i was to use a performance i would be careful not to have the same thing happening. However she does have a dark performance as we denote people with chains on and a ripped out heart in her hands. In my view lady gaga creates her own conventions for her videos but the style of the music video is a performance.

This music video would help me with my work as it lets me see what kind of routes i can go down with performance, performance doesn't have to be the singer singing to the audience you can tell a story using the performance and have the artist dancing to show the audience other skills they have. Lady gaga gets the audience talking about her song as well as the video.
Please don't let me get me by pink is one of the best videos in my view as there are many concepts with in one, we denote a performance, narrative, interpretative and green screen. They use all these in one music video and make it work with the song. The genre for the song would be pop rock, however they keep some conventions as we denote a bad on stage playing to crazy fans but they also use a narrative which has a story. Pinks style is normally crazy.
She reaches a young target audience by using the story of dreams of being a artist/growing up. We denote her in her school PE kit which shows that she growing up, this also allows young people in school to relate to her. She also uses interpretative style at the beginning of the song when she talks about her teacher and her dirty socks, this works well as it shows the audience she's creative and doesn't use the same style through the video. This video is very creative as it uses many different styles to tell a story to the audience, without being boring or overdone.
I would like to do something like this in my video which has many different styles without being overdone. I also like the camera work in this music video as its never really static giving the audience a real feel of a music video, when we denote the performance on the stage the camera movement involves everyone to get a real feel of the Pink's band and the singers. I also like when we denote the change in faces but everyone is still singing the lyrics it adds a new style to music videos and also connotes to the audience that the song can be related to everyone. This represents Pink to be someone who doesn't conform to social roles and is proud but finds in difficult in this day and age.

Fatman scoop- be faithful subverts the genre music video style as we normally see the artist in the music video with half naked women around them in big mansion. Using animation adds a twist to the video stops repetition within the genre. The style attracts the audience because its different and allows them to question the style and genre. As well as the artist, as we expect to denote the artist in baggy clothes with gold chains rapping/singing to the screen.
The animation isn't overdone in the video, we don't denote any costumes on the characters in the video, however this allows us to focus on the facial expressions on the heads. However we do denote a female characters who is the only one with a body, this is typical view of a body with females in music videos, this connotes to the audience that females are important but they are only good for one reason. There isn't much of a narrative as we denote the animated characters singing along with the lyrics however the video does seem like king kong when we denote the character on the top of the building with the women, this gives the audience an advantage as they are already aware of the reference. We see the buildings moving to the beat which creates more excitement for the audience.
Using this style would be hard in terms of my genre however if i was to try as use animation i would use animation to re create the lyrics as i feel thats a main convention of animation. I don't see myself using this style as it seems to complex and i don't think i could make animation creative enough for my style and keep the audience engaged through out the video. This represents the artist to be someone who cares about everyone as the lyrics engage everyone, the animation isn't to complex for people to understand either.
Don't you worry child swedish house mafia, This video is beyond simple but so effective in terms of the music and the artist. The music video is shots of the last concert the band did, this music video would fall under a performance as the band are performing to the audience, this gives the audience watching a very good understanding of how the band are live. The fact that they only use concert footage really interest me and makes me like this video because as the audience we don't really denote videos like these. Also allows people to get a real feel of the atmosphere as we have hard focused shots on the crowd through out the video.
The costumes are very basic, the artist are DJ's so we don't expect anything too over done, however we do denote a common theme with all the artist, black. This has become a convention in costumes within the hip pop and rap industry.
There isn't a narrative which doesn't give the audience a story to remember the song/music video by, however we denote a very strong performance with a crazy crowd which connotes them to be very big and high demanded artist which will show the audience they don't need a big music video to promote their song.
I would use a performance like this in my video if the artist was mainstream as it shows they don't need a music video which people remember through narrative, however i could mix a performance like this with a narrative or an impressionist music video as i feel that would be a new route for an audience to see. I could also use a performance in my video by getting the singer to sing to the female to connote the string romance and help empathises the lyrics. If i wanted to use a concert crowd i would have to use a really good green screen affect which would be a new challenge and skill. I would also like to edit the video how they did in this video, even though they have shots of the crowd the video is still edited to the beat.

Conor maynard- R U crazy. The music video interest me as its a mix to me as impressionist with performance. However the music video is really well edited to the beat, and i like how the lights go on and off with the beat. It creates more excitement and makes you want to focus more on the video. The video is also very modern to attract the audience.
The video has the common narrative of a romance between a girl and a boy but its mixed with him singing to the screen in different locations. We also denote her in the back which could connote he is always thinking about her. However we do denote a scene when his walking past flower pots and they all smash whilst he is walking this connotes that he has too much on his mind and is over thinking but this allows the audience to get a real feel about the artist and allows them to have their own ideas on what he is trying to express.
I also really like the camera movement through this video as it keeps up with the artist and is not static, this means the video is more exciting, the shots also make the artist look more excited rather than boring and simple. The lighting changes through out which i like as it makes you want to watch more to see what happens as when its dark you think something will happen or pop up.
The costumes used are very simple which the audience may connotes as the artist wanting to focus on his song rather than clothes, but the colour scheme stays consistent through out the video.
I would like to have a video which is the same in terms of editing and lighting as i feel they give the audience more excitement and makes the audience want to watch till the end because you don't whats going to happen, the consent change in camera movements also makes the artist look more energetic even if they are not. However i would like to empathises the narrative as i feel a narrative gives the audience a story to remember the video by.
