Music videos media
language contrasts
Social realism- it is where the video describes
the daily life of people, e.g. poor people or workers
Performance- where the band or performer is
just singing to the chosen song, normally for low budget videos. Usually
involve clips from previous performances.
Narrative- where it is made to tell a story
about the song, which is normally based on the lyrics in the song. Dramatic and
climatic narrative can create a powerful and emotional video.
Primarily montage- where the studio in editing
gets a series of short shots and puts them into a sequence to condense space,
time, and information.
Naturalistic media language- language that gets
used out of the classroom and in the natural world. Showing media context that
appears in the natural world.
Urban mise en scene- urban is a characteristic
of a town or city so with these characteristics it represents the mise en scene
being in that type of area. Eg a high populated area normally refers to a town
or city.
Postmodernism- bringing two different
conventions together so the overall all effect may seem disintegrated to the
viewer. Is known as the pick and mix theory as you take little bits of
everything and bring it together.
Intertextuality- where one text refers to
another. The linkage between texts or discourse events.
Fictional narrative- where the re-creation of
life being told by the narrator. When this is included with parallel diegesis
it is meant as the narratives time space continuum. Meaning in the video it
could resemble a other story.
Linear narratives- follow a straight line in
telling a story, it starts at the beginning, moving to the middle, then proceeding
to the end.
Expressionism- artistic style in which the artist seeks to
depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses
that objects and events arouse within a person. The artist accomplishes this
aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and fantasy and through the
vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic application of formal elements.
Suburban or small town mise en scene- suburban
known as the outlaying district of a city. Characteristics to create this
setting for mise en scene.
