On Thursday 18th November 2010, my media class took a trip to RichMix : Studying Music Video. Here we got a presentation by Pete Fraser who is the Chief Examiner for OCR A Level Media Studies. He gave us the history of the music video, codes and conventions and top tips for making our own music video. Amongst the material shown:
A Colour Box by Len Lye was one of the very first music videos made.
Frim Fram Sauce by Nat King Cole was a video performance with a depiction of himself performing in a video jukebox.
The Beatles keeping up the continuity in their music video for Can't Buy Me Love with their iconic black suits used various camera shots including a point of view style.
Jay-Z 's music video for 99 Problems caused a lot of controversy for it's explicit content and imagery of Jay-Z being shot down. It was also ranked in the top 500 music videos of all time and had over 800 camera cuts.
