i have taken steps to attmept to define music videos i have studied the book dancing in the distraction factory by andrew goodwin. the book shows how even exsperts and critics define diffrent music videos in diffrent ways, there are several key theories that they have come to conclude on
-mercer belives that they are part of the cinamatic genre or a short film accompied by music
-Fry and Fry belives that they are merely adverts portraying and advertising the band
-Walker sees them as visual art
-Marcus sees them as no more than semiotic pornography
All theese views show the complexite of music videos and forevey arguement and opion there is always a counter arguement and opion.
The book also challenges the view and opinion that MTV are totally responsible for the lack of attention span and modern society relianse on visual images to enjoy music, however it also argues that if it were not for this dependence then alot of stars may not have achieved their stardum.
