Here are some questions to ask yourself to begin understanding music videos:
- Is the music video based in real life, or does this take place in a fantasy world?
- Is the way the artist is portrayed in the video really how that person dresses and cats in real life?
- Consider how the musician is dressed - is that how regular people dress?
- Consider the actions taken by the artist in the video - would they really do these things in real life?
- What is the benefit for the musician to portray him or herself this way?
- Does the video portray people in stereotypical ways? Are these reflections of real people or are they just one-sided characters?
- Consider the editing - how does the frequency of cuts from shot to shot affect how you feel about the video?
- Consider the setting - why did the director choose this location or setting?
