In today's lesson, we continued to view the 100 greatest music video's showing thorough research by my comments:
28 - Foo Fighters - Learn to fly
27- David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
plays apart of himself going mad, greatest single of that time before MTV, primilate technology.
26 - TLC - Waterfalls
3D computer special effects
25- Madness - Baggy trousers 1980, MC Hammar trousers, couldn't see the wires saxophone player is flying. The song is about school days, kids appear in the video to reflect this.
24 - Radiohead- No surprise 1998, face changes colour, you just want him to surface. The video is impossible to watch with no reaction.
23- Britney Spears- Baby one more time
Problematic and controversal video. Directed by Nigel Dick. Increases pedophilia as she is dressed up as a school girl, it was said that men age 55 enjoy watching(perving) over that sort of video however Britney shows great rapport with the camera.
22 - Justin Timberlake - Cry me a river 2003
Stalking his ex girlfriend
21- Queen - I want to break free 1984
Queen were seen as a rock and performed heavy metal music then they made this video and this changed queens image
Freddie Mercury found gay (whole video dressed as a drag queen) and sadly pasted away died of aids. This docked Queen career in America as they are homophobic.
Directed by David Mallet
20 Gorallaz - Clint Eastwood 2001
Cartoon effect
Animations.
19- Madonna - Material Girl 1985
This video is a postmodern music video because it copies Marilyn Manroe, it very clever, video is all about money & what Madonna can achieve.
18- Beyonce - Crazy in Love
17- Blur - Coffee & TV 1999
We have so much empathy for the milk carton.
16 - Outkast- Hey Ya 2003
This video si all about performance, you walk into the past with current music vibe. Every member is Andre 3000 because at the time, it was being questionnned whether Outkast were on the verge of splitting up so by this action, i think this confirmed that the group had split.
15 - R.E.M - Everybody hurts
14- Christina Aguilera - Dirrty with 2 r's 2002,
This video was desperate to create a sexy image, marketing tool, very clever memorable and will never be forgotten.
13- Pink - Floyd Another Brick in the wall 1999.
Sequence from the film ' the wall'. The video gives off the impression that schools ruin people and children are forced into a particular way of living.
12- Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson - Scream
Most expensive video made ever, cost $7million to make, Michael Jackson's career was going downhill so he decided to produce a video that costs as much as humanly possible.
11- Coldplay - The Scientist 2002
The man in the video is saying the words backwards and walking backwards, took him weeks to actually get the swing of singing backwards. There was limited money when producing this video, so they could only take one take of the car crash as they only had one car.
