What I have learnt:
From the completion of this task, I have learnt and identified some key features of music videos even though I have only looked at a few examples. For example, I have noticed that fast paced cuts and a variety of camera angles and shots are evident in the examples I have seen. Additionally, I have have found out that the most successful music videos follow a narrative which works in synergy with the lyrics of the song. A strong example of this is in Michael Jackson's Thriller music video where there is a clear link between the action and the lyrics and also long periods of time where the narrative is being built. Therefore, my final product will need to include these aspects as they are key parts in a music video. Overall, creating this timeline has made me realise how far music videos have come and how particular videos encouraged change and ideas for future videos.
