A743: Behind The Structure and Artistry of The Music Video in Splash Spring 2021 (Mar. 13, 2021)

The music video has reshaped and reformed the way we listen to and engage with music. This course intends to teach students how to make a music video, defined as the union of music and visuals for artistic or promotional purposes. We will analyze three genres of Western music videos: performance, narrative, and concept. We will break down what typically characterizes each of these genres in terms of format and content. Cinematic structure will be analyzed alongside music in order to facilitate proper discussion about what it means to successfully promote a song.
