Music video or short film?
Music videos are generally produced for promotional purposes as they market the song. However in some cases, music videos combine conventions of a short film to produce narrative. For example, Charlie Fink (Noah and the Whale) produced a 50 minute short film combined with all their music videos. This created a film which was purposely made in a artistic way, instead of a promotional service. The Suburbs by Spike Jonze is also an example of this. In reflection, I like the way the two combine: integrating music with narrative not only tells a story but it expresses the lyrics as well. Arguably, some may say that they are just plainly a music video or short film, in my opinion however, I believe the two are the same. I will investiagte this further into my brief and think about whether I should create something similar.
