4. Function of a music video

A music video is a visual representation that accompanies the lyrics or music for the artist. It is also used to prompt the artist and their brand.

A great example of this is my chosen music video - Bruno Mars, just the way you are.

The genre of music is pop, which had conventions of that genre, which was the female actor had been represented in the male gaze, with camera dissection. There was a strong  narrative and the artist was a participant and narrator within the music video. There was a large range of mid shot and close up to present the singer.
I feel this is a great example of a music video because the visual and narrative was following the lyrics of the song and presented appeal for his target audience.
