and its video can make the overall message more
interesting and imaginative.”

should show this story.”
• “No, as the contrast between a song and a music
video can creating an interesting juxtaposition”
• “It's good when you watch a video and that makes
you understand the song more, but it's not vital.
Sometimes it's better if it's completely random and
then you're take on the song remains your own

8. • “No, because the video doesn't necessarily have to feature the
artist to impact on the viewer.”
• “No, as some music videos can be animated, or just anything
else. Artists arn't really necessary to appear”
• “Yes, need to put a face to the name! Calvin Harris barely
appears in his vids and I have no idea what he looks like! :')”
• “Not necessarily, Alex Turner was never in Arctic monkeys
videos until like, crying lightning or something.”
• “It depends, usually I do expect the artist to be in the video. But
if the video matches the song, then it doesn't really bother me.”

necessarily have to be the artist themselves. Maybe the artist
isn't a good actor and it would ruin it.”

boring”
• “anything unrelated to the music”
• “Pointless graphic images/pornographic type images”
• “The band or artist in the same position and location

'uninteresting'. Add tons of effects and play around

• “Cheesy stuff!”
• “Images of no relevance to the song.”
