Music Videos= Music+Videos

 Okay so when I first heard that we were going to be studying music videos, I instantly thought of like, videos that I thought were music videos. For example, videos of Justin Bieber singing "Baby" in the bowling alley. A simple music star lip syncing, that's what I thought of. But when we started watching these films, they obviously weren't what I expected. Instead of someone lip syncing and dancing to their own song, the majority of the films we were shown simply consisted of some sort of musical soundtrack, with rarely any words, and a video shot of some sort. The music videos I was introduced to were simply music + video, which I guess made a lot of sense. Later though we did see someone singing the song in that one split screen film whose name escapes me. Anyway, I guess I just wanted to blog about how I actually get what actual music videos are and the variations that go along with that. Honestly it's pretty interesting! There are a lot of different music videos out there and I'm excited to see more!
