Music Video Notes

I have researched some music videos that I remember viewing and have kept a memory in my mind. One of the music videos was 'Stop Me' by Mark Ronson. I enjoyed this video as it was a narrative video with a man discovering shoes that had a mind of their own. The video shows this man who is rather chubby at the beginning of the video and near the end become slimmer because of wearing the shoes. The confusion in the characters face looks like he doesn't want the shoes to control him which fits in with the songs title however that is the only link to the song.

I then looked at Elbows 'One Day Like This'. This video included a man listening to music on a street corner whilst holding a sign up for passes by. Through the song he begins to do tricks with the sign in beat to the song. Even though this video is rememberable for me it becomes quite boring throughout as its just the boy throwing the board around for the whole video. It is an abstract video but simple. It also has nothing to do with the song as firstly I felt it may have been how the man was feeling, but listening to the lyrics with the video it doesn't link.

I thirdly listened to 'Hopes And Fears' by Will Young, and this was rememberable because it was different. He was pregnant through the video and experienced all woman hormones whilst going through the pregnancy stage. It was different and unexpected. It also linked with the song as their are many hopes and fears throughout pregnant times. It was a narrative, performance and I believe abstract video and enjoyed it very much.
