Music Videos
- A music video is usually a short film or video that accompanies a piece of music.
- Modern music videos are primarily used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings (which is why they're sometimes called 'promotional videos' or 'promos')
One of my favourite music videos is of a song called 'Shangri La' by a korean boy group named 'Vixx'.
I love this music video for the props, themes, mystery, symbolism and overall aesthetic.
The music video makes many references to Adam and Eve and the garden of eden without a particularly obvious storyline. Many fans of 'Vixx' across the world have posted blogs of their personal interpretations on the music video and what they perceive as the symbolism. The mystery of the symbolism behind this music video has made it very successful around the world within the kpop loving community. Every time you watch it, you notice something different, which is why people can sit there replaying it trying to put the puzzle pieces together. It looks very simple with the clean settings and the simple editing, yet people can't stop watching it trying to work out what it means!
Other than the symbolism, this music video is actually very beautiful with the use of colours, traditional Japanese theme and dancing on water.
