Micheal Jackson-Thriller
This video is narrative, so tells a story, which you follow throughout, making you more interested in it. I also love how hey are all in sync with eachother when they dance a it really ties the video together. This video is an iconic peice in music history and is known worldwide for its scary/zombie video.
Taylor Swift-We Are Never Getting Back Together
I like this video because it has narrative elements as well as performance and concept. The performance part is also the concep as the performers and musicans are dressed up in costumes that have nothing to do with the actual lyrics. I also like how the scenes roll into one by panning the camer there is another setting, it keeps it interesting as they keep moving and not just stopped in one scene and then jumping to another scene in a different setting.
Vanessa Carlton-A Thousand Miles
This video is a concept and performance video as she is playing her piano and what the video shows does not tell a story. The reason i like this video is because it shows she is travelling a thousand miles through the background changes, but she is not doing it in the conventional way where if she were to follow the story through the video she would do it following the lyrcs of the song. for exmaple the lyrics of this song is "I would walk a thousand miles" Walk being the opprative word, even though she travelles a thousand, miles she does not walk. It also takes another line of the chorus and applies it to the video " do you think time would pass me by" and this is hsown on the video where time is passes by faster than her, and another line being "making my way through the crowd" we see her on various occasions have a crowd in the background.
