Conventions
1. Lyric interpretation
In the video “The Lonely Island
– I’m on a Boat” they are singing about there on a boat and they actually are
they also sing about flipping burgers and they actually do in the video. They
do pretty much everything they say in there song they do in the video. This
song isn’t serious so neither is the video.
Also in the video “Eminem Ft
Rihanna – Love the Way You Lie” they do use Lyric interpretation but in a
more serious way for example they sing about abuse and they actually hit and
fight in the video but they have to do this very carefully because some
viewers could take it very to heart also when they talk about romance the get
passionate with each other.

1.
Allusion (a reference)
In most of these videos they have little reference to other this like
films and other music for example:
“The
Lonely Island – I’m on a Boat” there is a part of the video where he stands
on the top of the boat with his arms out and this looks like a part of a
famous film “titanic” where the couple stand at the top of the boat with
there arms out so you could reference it to that film.
“Foo Fighters – Walk” – this film can be completely reference to the
film “Falling Down” because the video is a copy of a scene out of the film
with a few things different. Like the
start of the video where he sat in his car looking around until he gets out
of his car and walks is the same as the scene in the film.
|
1. Extension or consolidation of song’s
meaning
“The Beastie Boys – Sabotage” – without watching this video it isn’t
very clear what’s the song about but watching the video give me a better view
on what the artist wants to get across in his song.
|
1. Links to other artists
“Eminem Ft Rihanna – Love the Way You Lie” – This video features Rihanna
this means if people likes Eminem song featuring her they will look at her
music and might become a fan so this helps promote Rihanna and her music.
“The Lonely Island – I’m on a Boat”
- in this this video it Features T-pain so this will do the same as
Rihanna in the song love the way you lie which she features in it will
promote T-Pain and may gain him more fans and make him that little bit more
money for him and his record label.
“Kanye West - Gold Digger” – this video also features Jamie foxx so
this will link his music and anything he’s done to this video so it could
make him fans but it also could bring Kanye some more new fans from Jamie’s
fan base.

Techniques
1. Cutting to the beat
Thirty
Seconds To Mars - The Kill – this is a good example of cutting to the beat
because you can see when the music speeds up so does the clips in the video so
I helps to hear and see that the pace in the video and the music has changed
and gives you a better overall feeling and understanding off the song by this
video by the pace its set in.
|
1. Effects
“Kanye West - Gold Digger” – uses a few different effects in his
video like he uses greenscreen, a flashing effect which makes the image
change very quickly, different types of lighting using different lighting
techniques and adding effect to make things flash and light up.
|
1. Miming and lip sync
All music videos the artist or
performer mime’s so all the video I have looked at had the artist mime’s
|
1. Use of multi image
“Thirty
Seconds To Mars - The Kill” – In one of the scenes they use an effect
to make two of the same person in the same room at the same time o the used a
multi image.
|
1. Chroma key (green screen)
They use green screen to make the video look effect and it is a
cheaper way to make the artist and performer look like there in another city
or country also the can do some unusual effects and looks on it to make it
look different like these have:
“Kanye West - Gold Digger”
“Eminem Ft Rihanna – Love the Way You Lie”
