Functions of a music video

Functions of a music video 



The functions of a music video are to portray the music in a visual format. There are many ways it can be done for example it can be a Disjuncture, Illustration and Amplification. Each one is a different way for an artist to portray their song. 
  • Disjuncture means that the music video is separate from the song and has its own meaning or may just be random and be a video to create good visual effect. 

  • Illustration means showing what the lyrics say in a visual format. It means that if the lyrics in the song are about love and romance then the video will be directly connected. 

  • Amplification means that the video may have a different meaning then the song does and example would be 'the script and will.i.am' and their song 'hall of fame'.
