100 greatest music videos
3-favourite music video
I can not in all honesty say that i have a favourite music video becuase the music video mirrors its parent music as it is such a wide and varying spectrum from the funny and entertaining to the downright weird they apeal to me in different ways so i can't chose just one here is a quick look at a few of my favorite music videos
blink 182 - the rock show
-
This video is purely for entertainment purposes it shows blink 182 embracing the punk culture by against everything and anything including the music business and music videos themselves the video shows the guys not spending the money for appropriate sets, casting, computer graphics, costume or make-up they cash in the money and do whatever they want with it which mainly evolves simply throwing it away or using it to but props for their pranks.in a way it is a very postmodern video as it is very self aware the constant looking, talking, spitting at the camera it sets out to break all the boundaries of the music video and if you don't like it then screw you.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Dani California
NOTE-To save me time and movement in my fingers i'm going to call them RHCP
Here RHCP are making homage to the music that inspired and help create them by going right back to the beginning and going through the ages of rock showing the various fashions, styles and attitudes that rock music has developed over the years since its humble yet colorful beginnings in the 50s with a young white boy singing like a black boy about blue shoes.the most appealing yet surprising thing about the video is that they are such great performers that they pull of the looks of the other bands and yet still manage to make it fit there song. At the end of the video the timeline catches up with RHCP and the video culminates in there very own style almost in an arrogant way as if to say "it took a while but we've finally perfected it" well i'm sure its perfectly innocent really overall the video is all round entertainment.
This is by far and away the best RAP music video ever, directed by award winning Mark Romanek it displays the gritty truth for the many people living around the streets of the New York city projects it follows JAY-Z through what were meant to assume is a normal day the whole video is shot in black and white it shows how through JAY-Z's eyes life on the streets as a young black male can have it's advantages and disadvantages referring back to the title line of the song "I've got 99 problems but the bitch aint one" it shows the culture and emotions of the people living in Brooklyn with constant close ups of people from all ages, genders and races. It challenges issues such as morality, religion, socio-economic politics, crime and even death without judging simply by showing it as a raw truth.

4- The purpose of a music video
What is the purpose of the music video? to make you laugh? to make you cry? simply to entertain?
well the origin of the music video is an unexpected one as they were not designed to advertise music they were essential designed to show on T.V. programmed such as Top of the Pops when the band were incapable or simply didn't want to give a live performance.now a days bands can use music videos to spread awareness and get a foot in the door currently music videos on you tube are one of if not the most important way to target new music to people of ages this can be proved by the massive success of songs such as Gangnam style by South Korean artist PSY, in fact many artists release there albums on the internet before they're physical production. Music videos can be used to introduce bands to the publics recognition very quickly the samples are a good example of this is the Spice Girls song "Wannabe" where each member of the band is introduced in there own way and they became a musical sensation overnight.

Dear
to whom it may concern, We are two A-level media students who are in our second year of our course and we are required to make a music video and as not to breach copyright law we must look for unsigned artists to provide the music for which we will base our video around we would be pleased if you would give us permission to use your song "battlefield" to do so. Please reply soon, thank you from Dale Stevenson and ryan Martin.
