100 Greatest Music Videos

In todays lesson we simply carried on watching the 100 greatest music video's.

89-Smashing Pumpkins



88-Elton John -Im still standing  was a significant video because Elton John hated being in video's s this was a live performance.



Elton John-Don't go breaking my heart, Elton John hires someone to lip sync, so use of actors in his video's acting to be him.

87-Talking heads - was the first time for abstract movement. They explored abstract ideas to put into movement.



86-The Streets - Fit but know it.



85-Sid Viscous - My way , The video quite goofy, dull with a bit of violence. Unfortunately this artist, died within a year of release of this song, aged 21, due to drug overdose.



84-The boomtown rats-I don't like Monday's was the first video to have a narrative 'story' to it.



83-Shakespeare's sister- Stay, was part of video's have to be able to express emotions, The part where the song gets faster and louder where the long haired lady begins to sing creates dramatic tension.



82- 50cent - In da club. Introducing an artist discovered by Dr Dre and Eminem.



81- Ultravo - vienna, over the top, high over dramatic, tells a story, black and white



80- Radiohead - JUST



79- New order - true faith
Director believed in artistic & freedom. Non video makers to make all the video's.
End result is a video that divides opinions



78- Godley and creme - cry

Video adds value
All about faces. All molve into eachother . Get loads of different people to lip sync, mixed technique.



77- MC Hammer - Can't touch this
Never see grown men wearing harlem trousers.
