Question 1- Form conventions of Music Video

  • Editing reflects the pace/structural changes of the track (Music > Visuals)
  • Variety of angles and shot types
  • Can be performance, narrative and/or conceptual
  • Relationship between the Visuals and the music/lyrics 
  • Dominance of CUs
  • Location & costume changes/ not following continuity
  • Beat edits to the tempo of the song
  • Features the artist within the music video as a performer, cameo or character
  • Convincing performance shot from multiple angles and shot types
  • Performance has direct address to the camera
  • Performance synching (Lip, Instrument) - Simulacrum (simulation of the 'real' performance, 'real' performer)


How does 'No Surprises' Play or Challenge these conventions?

Justify: What was the purpose of following these conventions? What effect was intended?

Radiohead - If you break the rules - how does this sell the artist?
