Section 1b: Initial notes on music video (Music Theory)

Since the rising popularity of music videos some would argue that they have now become superficially based on Image and that pop music on its own no longer yields the power to make meaning and provoke pleasure to its audience.

Andrew Goodwin 1992

“A good music video is a clip that responds to the pleasure of music, in which that music is made visual, in new ways or in a way that accentuates existing visual actions.”
