Conventions of a Music video (Part 2)


A music video is a videotaped performance of a recorded popular song. It is usually accompanied by dance or a fragmentary story. Music videos often use concert footage for eg. Wiz Khalifa - Up


There are many conventions that is linked with music videos such as :
* Quick shots
* Lip syncing
*Costume Changes
*Makes it Clear If its Group or solo artist
*Montage Editing - This conventions is quite popular in music videos as the editing of the music video doesn't have to flow for eg. an artist could throw a ball and the next shot could be him dancing. As where if it was continuity editing you will have to see the ball travel in the next shot.
*3-4 minutes long
