Music Videos Over the past three Decades

we were assigned to look at music videos that have been made over the past three decades. over that time there has been about every ideo you can think of put into a music video. I've gotten a lot of inspiration from watching all of these music, and since we are making our own music videos in class right now you will definitely see some of these music videos incorporated into ours.


Below I posted three of my favourite music videos i saw while browsing all sorts of styles of music videos.

OK GO - This To Shall Pass

this video was done in one cut it took them over 80 takes to get right. the video is a Rube Goldberg machine that runs through out the whole video and ends in a messy way for the band members. the point of a Rude Goldberg machine is to accomplish a simple task using  all sorts of simple and complex contraptions.

The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar

This was a music video I thought was very cool because of its simplicity and concept. The whole thing was filmed from the window of a train, and pieces of the scenery where copied into different places to go with the beat. Even though there is not much that goes on in the video, it still keeps your attention and is entertaining to watch.

The White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button

This video is slightly similar to the previous video, in the was that it has pieces repeated in the shot to go with the beat. i like the way that they incorporated stop-motion with the video. it is filmed in normal everyday public places, like city streets and subway stations. it was made by taking different shots then laying them.
