Abstract

How can we engage critically with music video and its role in popular culture? What do contemporary music videos have to tell us about patterns of cultural identity today? Based around an eclectic series of vivid case studies, this fresh and timely examination is an entertaining and enlightening analysis of the forms, pleasures, and politics that music videos offer. In rethinking some classic approaches from film studies and popular music studies and connecting them with new debates about the current 'state' of feminism and feminist theory, Railton and Watson show why and how we should be studying music videos in the twenty-first century. Through its thorough overview of the music video as a visual medium, this is an ideal textbook for Media Studies students and all those with an interest in popular music and cultural studies. Key Features * Provides a framework for how to describe and analyse a music video. * Uses case studies from internationally well-know artists, such as Kylie, Shakira and Beyoncé to explore issues of representation of gender, sexuality and ethnicity. * Draws on classic and contemporary videos from a range of musical styles, from Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera to Gorillaz and Metallica.

Abstract

"Music videos project the personas and visions of musical artists; they stand at the cutting edge of developments in popular culture; and they fuse and revise multiple frames of reference, from dance to high fashion to cult movies and television shows to internet memes. Above all, music videos are laboratories for experimenting with new forms of audiovisual expression. The Rhythm Image analyzes, in depth, recent music videos for artists ranging from pop superstar The Weeknd to independent women artists FKA twigs and Dawn Richard. The music videos discussed twist the traditional themes of sex and romance, money and fame, and the lived experiences of race and gender in strange and unexpected ways. In so doing, music videos are shown to reflect our entanglement with a digital world of social media, data gathering, and 24/7 demands upon our attention." --

Abstract

Music videos today sample and rework a century's worth of movies and other pop culture artifacts to offer a plethora of visions and sounds that we have never encountered before. As these videos have proliferated online, they have become more widely accessible than ever before. In Digital Music Videos, Steven Shaviro examines the ways that music videos interact with and change older media like movies and gallery art; the use of technologies like compositing, motion control, morphing software, and other digital special effects in order to create a new organization of time and space; how artists use music videos to project their personas; and how less well known musicians use music videos to extend their range and attract attention. Surveying a wide range of music videos, Shaviro highlights some of their most striking innovations while illustrating how these videos are creating a whole new digital world for the music industry.

Abstract

"Music videos were once something broadcast by MTV and received on our TV screens. Today, music videos are searched for, downloaded, and viewed on our computer screens -- or produced in our living rooms and uploaded to social media. In We Used to Wait, Rebecca Kinskey examines this shift. She investigates music video as a form, originally a product created by professionals to be consumed by nonprofessionals; as a practice, increasingly taken up by amateurs; and as a literacy, to be experimented with and mastered. Kinskey offers a short history of the music video as a communicative, cultural form, describing the rise and fall of MTV's Total Request Live and the music video's resurgence on YouTube. She examines recent shifts in viewing and production practice, tracing the trajectory of music video director Hiro Murai from film student and dedicated amateur in the 1990s to music video professional in the 2000s. Investigating music video as a literacy, she looks at OMG! Cameras Everywhere, a nonprofit filmmaking summer camp run by a group of young music video directors. The OMG! campers and counselors provide a case study in how cultural producers across several generations have blurred the line between professional and amateur. Their everyday practices remake the notion of literacy, not only by their collaborative and often informal efforts to impart and achieve literacy but also by expanding the definition of what is considered a valuable activity, worthy of dedicated, pleasurable pursuit"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Von der Pariser Weltausstellung 1900 über Elvis Presley hin zu MTV und der heutigen Generation YouTube - Martin Lilkendey zeichnet erstmals detailliert die ganze Geschichte des Musikvideos in der westlichen Welt nach. Auf Grundlage einer präzisen Definition des populären Musikkurzfilms sowie vieler Beispiele kann die Einführung eine filmhistorische Klammer zwischen dem frühen Kino und YouTube setzen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Geschichte des Musikvideos auch eine Geschichte der Medien ist. Die präzise Einordnung des Musikvideos als eigenständiges Genre außerhalb des Musikfilms sowie das empirisch-deskriptive Vorgehen erlauben es, viel weiter historisch zurückzuschauen als alle anderen bisherigen wissenschaftlichen Betrachtungen. »Insgesamt liefert die Studie [...] einen guten ersten Einstieg vor allem in die Geschichte des Musikkurzfilms mit sinnvoller Nuancierung in Richtung Musik- und Filmindustrien.« Christoph Jacke, H-Soz-u-Kult, 06.01.2020 »Die Publikation [kann] als eine Bereicherung angesehen werden, da Lilkendey eine Mediengeschichte verfasst hat, die den Musikkurzfilm als eigenständige Gattung stärker ins Blickfeld rückt.« André Rottgeri, MEDIENwissenschaft, 4 (2017) »Lesenswert, da [die Arbeit] den an der historischen Entwicklung des Musikvideos Interessierten eine gute Grundlage bietet, sich zu orientieren.« Kathrin Dreckmann, r:k:m, 19.10.2017 »Martin Lilkendeys Publikation [schärft] den Blick für die historischen und mediengeschichtlichen Zusammenhänge in Bezug auf die Entwicklung des Musikkurzfilms. Dies dürfte letzten Endes nicht nur für die Popular- und Filmmusikforschung, sondern beispielsweise auch für Forscherinnen und Forscher aus den Kulturwissenschaften oder der Soziologie von großem Interesse sein.« Stefan Drees, www.socialnet.de, 18.09.2017 »Es ist eine faszinierende Reise, auf die einen Martin Lilkendey in seinem lesenswerten und informativen Buch mitnimmt.« Jörg Jewanski, Das Orchester, 7/8 (2017) Besprochen in: www.hhprinzler.de, 26.05.2017, Hans Helmut Prinzler
