After reading HOW to make a music video, I decided that I should first consider what I think a music video is made of before I find out what an audience thinks.
It would be impossible to list a set of criteria for a music video, as there are so many different possibilities.
For some a music video is a way of visualising the meaning of the lyrics via a "short story". For others it is just soft porn. Then there are those whose video is completely irrelevant to the song. And of course there are all the ones in between.
I think it is safe to say that a music video is created to entertain an audience and help them enjoy a musicians creation.
Generaly, certain genres of music tend to fall into certain catagories of music video. But, as with everything there are always exceptions.
Below are a few music videos that should help illustrate my point.
Emiliana Torrini - Heartstopper
Calvin Harris - Im not alone
OK Go - Here it goes again
