In todays lesson we have simply continued watching the 100 greatest music video's. We began our research in todays lesson on numbere 49.
49 -Jamiroquai-virtual- insanity , he has an incredible balance, showing new technology because objects move on their own but what the audience are unaware of is that really the walls move to make it look as though objects are moving.
48 - Johnny Cash- Hurt
Song is about addiction, he has hurt his family. It is the most moving music video ever as his whife who had died was in the video. He died just 6 months are shooting this video in septemeber 2003. He was too ill too travel so the video was filmed at home.
47 - The prodigy - Fire starter caused lots of complaints
46 - Adam and the Ants - Prince Charming
Costs $30,000 bucks for that time to be made.
45- Aerosmith -Crazy 1994
44 - Kylie Minogue - Can't get you out of my head
This is when Kylie went from being a medium level campus to great popstar becauser her video represents a world that we have never seen before. It is futuristic with the clothes that she wears and the car that she drives.
43 - Dire Straits/ Money for Nothing 1985
42 - Bjork - Oh so quiet 1995
This music video is a celebration of old fashion music where real and unreal intersect.
41 - Spice girls - Wannabe
This video was filmed all in one take so if sombody was out of place at any point during shooting, they would have to start all over again. Because the video was filmed in one take, this reflects why the video is so jumpy. In the video, the girls are indirectly sticking two fingers up at authority which makes the video funny and interesting. The day before this video the spice girls were unknown, the say after, everybody knew who exactly each spice was. Posh spice was in the background rather than being one of the mains because they did not have confidence that she could sing or dance, well none of the girls could sing as they were pretty much shouting their lines.
40- Missy Elliot - Get your freak on 2001
Unrealistic things occur for example when her neck extends and gets longer.
39 - Pulp common people 1995
38 - Fatboy Slim - Weapon of choice
won 6 categories at MTV awards in 2001.
37 - Guns n Roses - November rain 1992
The video is completely over the top more than a video can be to the point where it gets quite silly. It cost lots of money to make 1.5 million and is 9 minutes long in total.
36- Red hot chill peppers - Give it away
Simple black and white video.
35- Sinead O'Connor - Nothing compares to you
The video adds value to the song, shes cries in the middle of the video which express's her feelings (the loss of her mother). The video was all about performance, footage from a gravside was shot but not much of it was used because her face and performance was so strong. Therefore they decided to use this footage in Paris for the instrumental. She evokes real tears with real emotions attached and means and it looks as though she believes every works she sings.
34- The white stripes - fell in love with a girl 2002
33 - U2 - The sweetest thing 1998
This is a very clever video because it looks as though it is being filmed in one take but there is edits in the middle that are hidden.
32- Chris Isaak - Wicked Game
31- Eminem ft Dido - Stan
This is an interesting video because it is a postermodern video. The video reflects Eminem's own state of fame of how his fans react to him as a celebrity. Stan is Eminem's biggest fan and bleaches his hair to look like more like Eminem and the relationship that Stan has with his girlfriend reflects Eminems own relationship that he has with his wife. Stan mimes Eminems words so it's almost as though hes telling a story about himself.
30- Weezer - Buddy Holly
29 - Electric Six - 'Gay Bar'
This is the 2nd most contraversal video after Madonna's 'like a prayer' as it refers to Abraham Lincon being gay and for this reason this video is forbidden to be played in America as they are so against it.
