Music Videos

This music video is the song 'Telephone' by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce. It is an unconvential music video as it has a predominant story which doesn't fit to the lyrics. However, it does use some typical conventions of music videos such as the singer is miming the words of the song during the video. There is a narrative structure of equilibrium - disequilibrium - new equilibrium and is in a linear structure from the protagonist's point of view.



I like this video because it is quite comedic. There are pictures which help the tell the narrative. It has many conventions of a music video such as the shots of the singer.



I like this video because the narrative encourages us to watch it through to the end. It has an ambiguous story as it increases throughout the video. There are also some conventional shots of the singers, and the fact that it doesn't have a predominant story makes it a conventional music video.
