First, visit the following website: http://www.understandmedia.com/topics/media-theory/143-how-to-analyze-a-music-video
Then, select two music videos that you find on YouTube/Vevo, with each video coming from a different pop genre. Write a brief (approximately 200-250 words) analysis of each video using the questions posed in the linked website above as a point of departure. Focus both on describing what you see and hear, and interpreting the video as a cultural product. Conclude with a paragraph in which you discuss these videos together. Are there significant similarities/differences? Major themes or tendencies in production?
You may also incorporate background research to identify significant aspects of each video’s production (director, date of production, etc.). Include a bibliography of all sources used as needed, and include links to all of the videos.
