Evaluation of styles and conventions of music videos, with examples.

1: Ed Sheeran-Lego house
This music video has a very narrative story line which goes very well with the music that is displayed on the video. The video shows a famous actor playing a character which is obsessed with Ed Sheeran. the actor in the video dresses exactly the same as Ed Sheeran and also looks like him. The video matches the song very well and goes with the style of music.


2: Immortal Technique-Dance with the devil
This is a song which has a music video that actually describes the lyrics perfectly. The artist is singing about a young man who’s mind was corrupted by the desire and greed of having money and women etc, the video also shows the lengths that the young man would go to in order to chase his dream. The artist does not actually appear in the video and there is only four people displayed on it. It’s a very sad song and the video works very well with the theme of it.


3: Chase and status-Let you go
This video also has a narrative outlook to the video; it displays a hypocrite Jeremy Kyle like talk show host. He judges people oh his talk show then goes and actually does what these people he is criticising and judging them about. Although the video is very well done and good to watch the video does not go with the new dub step genre music. So the music does not particularly go with the song but that does not deny the fact that both the video and the song is very good.


4:Nate dog ft Warren G-Regulate
Regulate is a song about a man going to meet his friend but then gets robbed for his jewellery and car then lets his friend know and they go looking for the robbers. The video is very well produced and gets both the point of the song and of the video across very well. The song linked brilliantly with the music video and I really enjoy listening to the song and watching the music video.


5: Afro man-Because I got high

This is a reasonably narrative music video but not completely some of the images and scenes used in the video are very random and don’t have any relation to the actual song. But song is very catchy and the video is comical along with the song which is also very funny and comical.
