These sorts of music videos always cut to the beat which is
conventional as lots of music videos do this. An example from a music video I
have chosen is Eminem – when i’m gone.
Also the images at the time link with the lyrics or the feel
of the song. Here we see his daughter showing him a picture she made as the
lyrics say “Daddy look what I made”. Many music videos do this to add emphasis and
to convey the idea better.
Amplification – more creative
The music does cut to the beat but not as much. The way the
narrative is conveyed is more abstract and isn’t so obvious, more creative way
to get the audience thinking. The band or performer take on the fiction roles
in the music video. A really good example for this is Katy Perry- last Friday
night as she plays the character the story line is based on.
Disjuncture(known as the bad one)
The editing doesn’t cut to the beat which is sometimes seen
as bad. Images do not relate to the feeling or narrative. However established
bands or performers may be able to take the risk of doing this as they are
already popular. The band image is different and not the expected. An example
is the band Texas, the woman is dressed as Elvis randomly which confuses the audience.
An example of a disjuncture music video is Daft Punk- Da funk where the
narrative is about a man dressed as a dog in the city which has no relevance to
the song. There was dialogue over the song, ambient sounds.
