We saw many music videos in class this week. With artists from Toby Keith to Eminem. Every video had the terms we are learning about wonderfully displayed. I knew you were trouble when you walked in by Taylor Swift had a lot of good examples of the term. The plot of the video was Taylor always knowing the guys she wanted to be with would be trouble for her, but she still wants them. The scene and sequence that illustrates this is when she keeps flashing back to her previous relationships, and then forward to the present where she is broken from being broken up with. The narrative genre helps to get the message across to the viewers and convey the emotion she is feeling.
Eminem is a great artist, and the video Stan exemplifies it. It is based on a real life experience Eminem had, and all the best songs come from real experiences and feelings. Eminem is the auteur for this video, and he does a great job. He sees himself in Stan, and can't help but relate to his plight. That is the diegesis of the video. There are all sorts of terms in it from flashback to shot types to mise-en-scene. The video is wonderfully done. We saw many videos in class this week, but those two were the ones i connected with the most.
