Functions of a music video



Functions of a music video

The function of a music video is to promote the artist, and their music to the audience. Another function of a music video is to establish their place in the competitive music industry.

Normally, if performance based then a music video is to present the artist and their music. However if the music video is about the message within the lyrics, then the video will be focussed on the message rather than the artist.

One example of a music video which promotes the artist and appeals to the audience is Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood'. This video is performance based, which appeals to the audience as well as engaging with the lyrics of the song. This video draws in the audience and makes them want to see how it ends.

Lyrics Analysis

I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again
They've always been so kind
But now they've brought you away from me
I hope they didn't get your mind
Your heart is too strong, anyway
We need to fetch back the time
They have stolen from us
Analysis: Artist is lonely, a theme of loneliness can be portrayed in my video.


[2x:]
I want you
We can bring it on the floor
Never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancing on, do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise
Shouldn't talk about it
Analysis: Lonely, but cannot talk about it/their feelings. 

Shouldn't talk about it

Coldest winter for me
No sun is shining anymore
The only thing I feel is pain
Caused by absence of you
Suspense controlling my mind
I cannot find the way out of here
Analysis: No sun has connotations of blue/cold, he feels pain from intense loneliness
I want you by my side
So that I never feel alone again
Analysis: Wants companionship
[2x:]
I want you
We can bring it on the floor
Never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancing on, do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise
Shouldn't talk about it
Analysis: Repetition emphasises his need for someone else
Shouldn't talk about it

[2x:]
I want you
We can bring it on the floor
Never danced like this before
We don't talk about it
Dancing on, do the boogie all night long
Stoned in paradise
Shouldn't talk about it

Shouldn't talk about it
Analysis: Cannot talk about his feelings, even if it hurts him.
