Bessie Smith
– St. Louis Blues was the first music video to been made in 1932, it was also
innovation because they use single camera and it was a long shot at the beginning (0:02-0.55) where you can see
the band live in a resurrant, it also had lip synicing and shows the artist
appearing in some stages in the music video. Also it was innovation because
base on a short film called ‘Two-Reel’
staring herself and, was base on her song called ‘St. Louis Blue’ which was really
popular at that time. Bessie Smith – St. Louis Blues use shots such as, long
shots and mid- close up. This music was known as the jazz. Later on it was then
realse on youtube so everyone can watch it.
Bessie Smith – St. Louis Blues was recongise as a music video due to that it was base on a film and it has lyrics and lip synicing but no dialog also there is live band playing in the music video. Since it was first video that had lip synicing it was visuable memorable to the audience. It shows hermonies of audience joining in at time (0:25-0:27). You can also tell this was the music video because it has a narrative behind which is a women at the bar/resurrant sining about a break up which you exspect to see that in a music video. This music video would not have cost that much since there is one location which is a resurant and not that many talent in the music video.
During that time the people start watching films and watching music video since music video were moticable. Also technology was slowly developing such as, Bessie Smith – St. Louis Blues music video shown in some camera shot such long shot and mid- shots.
Batcat was band that recorded instruments such electric guitars - jetpack 1932 was innovation because it was the first video ever made where television was invented in the 1925. Also the video was famous for their experiment with electromagnetism. Also the batcat-jetpack music video was animation and was first aircraft. This was recorded produced by gramophone.
[1]Jetpack composes, records, and
performs the guitar dominated instrumental music known as surf or surf rock,
that was a music industry phenomenon of the early 1960s. Although it had
retained a following, especially in Southern California, surf experienced a
world-wide revival in the 1990s. This means that they perform live as was also
known surf rock. In that time surf rock was quite popular. In the music video
you see you see footage from out of space but however the band which was shown
few time throughout the music video.
This is recognisable as a music video because it was relatable to a genre which is surf rock even though there was no lip syncing there was story behind it which is space and aircrafts. It shows footage of different shots relating to the music also the music video has effects and uses close ups. It shows that it is a music video has no dialog and shows animation and music stick over it. During the video at 2:15 it has some text which is advertising space making young ages see this and what to experience it.There were various changes happen during this period of time for example in the 1932 they were more music video being made. Also lip synicing is being is being more occurred and live performces are being as a music video. However, music we develop over time as we go down the 1930-1960s music videos were in colour.
Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds are a girl's best friend was short filmand was the first music video that was shown in colour and shows the inforce of independent women speaking out. This is innovation because show for the first time transition on the screen for example, it shows two screen of the music video such as, one screen show close up of Marilyn Monroe and second screen shows long shot of Marilyn Monroe performance. Through out the music video it was live performance just the camera focusing on the her. Whilst watching this it also shows that Marilyn Monroe was focusing on her image for the first time in music as we did not see Bessie Smith – St. Louis Blues. Bessie Smith – St. Louis Blues was more focusing on her music then her image.
Marilyn
Monroe - Diamonds are a girl's best friend was reconginse as the music video by it was live perfomace
also it use some camera shots such as, close ups. It was also sample out of a
film. You can also tell that it is a music video it has cherography to the
song. Music videos have been around for as long as the 1930s they
are specifically used to describe or depict a narrative of story essentially a
short film which advertises the music itself. Firstly starting off with 1930s
music change'd featuring different music videos for songs.
As I was researching songs from the 1960s the
track Nancy Sinatra called these boots are made for walking this title was
released in the late 1960s this song was released 1966 and it was one of the
first music videos to actually feature colour. There are many ways this video is
different, it uses sexualization a lot more as it focuses on the their legs and
all the other women in the background. This also has a very good dance and
rhythm to the video. This is one of the first music videos to actually spark an
era of female sexualised themes.
It has a very interesting video as it is set in a studio
with just a group of girls dancing but follows a genre specific theme It uses
Mise en scene to its effect and it also uses a wide range of dance themes and
expressions. This dance sequence is known as a Choreography which really
translates to a dance sequence that draws in the viewer in fact Choreography is
probably one of the most effective uses in music videos as it allows the artist
to get publicly noticed due to the dance.
Mise En Scene is not
recognized on the set but the costume design for the girls is very sexualized
in other words Voyeurism. Voyeurism is how people are sexually themed and
presented in front of the audience.
