3 Favourite Music Videos

We were told to look at all the past ECS music videos and choose three that stood out to us. It was difficult to decide but I managed to cut it down to three of my favourites:

My first favourite music video I chose was a narrative music video. The camera work and the effects they have incorporated into the music video really stood out to me. I particularly liked the slow motion and double exposure shots and as the shots were fast paced, it went well with the fast pace of the music. I also liked their use of reversing the clips at the end.

My second favourite was a performance music video. Their use of a black and white filter goes well with the music and the different types of shots used helped with giving me an idea of what I would like to achieve when making a music video, whether it being a narrative or performance one.

My third and final favourite video is also a performance music video. It looked very professional due to the way things were filmed and the different types of effects they used on those shots.

Music Video Examples

Here are a few music video examples from other schools:

Narrative and Performance Music Videos

When creating a music video, we have two options; narrative or performance. Creating a music video with a narrative shows the audience a story within the few minutes the song is playing. A performance music video is different to that as it usually shows the artist performing their song. 

Here are a few examples of both types of  music videos:
