3 Music Videos I Like & Why
By Chloe Yearsley
Fall Out Boy
• One of the music videos that I like are Fall out Boy’s because they don’t always relate to the song so its more interesting to watch as they are very random and you cant predict what's going to happen in them, making it an abstract piece of media and going against some media theorists definitions, through the use of mise en scene and other features like that to create an ‘inauthentic’ piece.
• In one of the music videos its very interesting as they show fire, which makes it more interesting and abstract for the audience and also following the definition of pop-culture. I also like the setting of the music video as its mysterious.

Ed Sheeran
• Another music video that I like is Ed Sheeran – A Team. The reason why I like this music video is because the lyrics of the song tells a story. Ed Sheeran tends to do this with most of his songs of telling a story along with the song, another example is Give Me Love.
• This is an interesting material to watch as the setting of the music video is out on the streets but also the color effect is black and white throughout making the abstract of the piece ‘unauthentic’.
• We also get an insight of how the individual in the music video lives and how she gets money. As the lyrics of the song are related to the music video, we also get an insight of what life is like homeless and how less fortunate the individual is.
Rihanna
• One other music video that I like also is We Found Love by Rihanna. The reason why I like this video is because it has different effects making you want to watch it over again.
• Throughout the song, there is a story that relates to the song about a couple having the time of their lives and then going through rough patch. Its not just the story that makes the music video an abstract piece. It is also the effects that this music video encounters on.
