As we of the MTV generation know, موسیقی ویڈیوز are a great medium for artists with only a few restrictions. One must convey a message within the two یا three منٹ designated for the song (of course except for rare cases like link). It must be entertaining enough to encourage multiple viewings, and be 'main-stream' so to allow for TV viewings at midnight or mid-day. Follow these, and you'll have a video fit for MTV یا VH1.
But what makes a great موسیقی video?
1. It must be unique. This is a given. We have all seen enough angst-ridden m.v.s where the crying/angry/hurt girl/guy rides the bus/train/car, etc. Same goes for rapper ویڈیوز with scantily-clad female dancers.
2. Tells a story. It can be a bizarre story that doesn't make much sense until the end, but one must feel satisfied at the conclusion [see link سے طرف کی YeYe یا link سے طرف کی Foo Fighters.]
3. The artist یا director must not feel confined to matching the visuals of the video perfectly with the lyrics. While good in some cases (link) it tends to be a sign of a novice (bad) video director. [A good example of non-matching visual-to-lyrics? Watch link.]
4. Makes a lasting impression and/or is memorable. This applies مزید to the older موسیقی videos, the forerunners to great موسیقی videos, that might not have the best production values but people still remember them and are often sampled سے طرف کی other artists & mediums. An obvious example is Aha's original link and Family Guy's link.
5. One must realize that a great موسیقی video does not mean a great song with a mediocre video, but a fabulous mv can have a mediocre song. There are some fabulous and iconic songs with okay موسیقی ویڈیوز (some being uploaded to this spot) but this soapbox مضمون is a tribute to those ویڈیوز that stand out. Do آپ think of the موسیقی video long after you've seen it, even if you've only seen it once? Did it captivate آپ when آپ first saw it? These should be the سوالات آپ ask yourself when determining whether it is great!
Please let me know what آپ think adds to the formula of a knock-out موسیقی video!
