Music videos (intertexuality)

Intertextuality 

Intertextuality is when a music video has reference to another music video in it. For example 'Walks Like Rihanna' by The Wanted has a mixture of references to other bands in their video, including Take That and The Backstreet Boys.




Why do we have music videos?

  • promote the artist
  • promote the song
  • advertising
  • make money
  • help tell a story
  • appeal to the target audience
  • entertain the audience
  • product placement

Basic structures of music videos
  • last on average of 3-4 minutes
  • combines a mixture of live performance, narrative, concept and other visual imagery (computer graphics and animation)
