Conventions of Music Videos

After watching and analysing music videos across various years, i have noticed that certain conventions have been followed despite the fact that the industry is ever-changing. 
I found that it was common for videos from 2012 to follow the same conventions of videos released in the 60's. In addition i have also found that videos from different times will deliberately go against conventions in similar ways.


As a class we watched two videos and compared them both. The first was One Directions hit ' That's what makes you beautiful' from 2012 and the second was a hit from the 60's by The Exciters called 'Tell Him'. Despite the 50 year gap between the releases i found that there was a significant amount of similarities between the videos.

  1. That's a good start, Holly, but you must outline what the similarities are between the two!
