conventions/ features of a successful music video

 
In the lesson we discussed what were the three key factors of a successful music video
 
 
 
In order to make the best product possible and get the highest we would have to include all of these aspects they secure the idea that the song is being represented correctly in accordance to the themes and feelings that the artist wishes to convey .
 
 
This photo is taken from a task we did in class where we listened to a song and then individually we were asked to create a music video based around what we had heard and through this we developed the understanding of how music videos fall into three categories; performance, narrative and concept. Additionally we learnt that they don't just fall into one of these categories but often overlap for example many Indy music videos combine narrative and performance to convey the song best. 

Further more this tasked taught us the importance of the representation of key motifs and lyrics in our music video and how if we want to make the most successful product possible then this is a convention that we'd have to follow.
