Modiwl WXM-3025:
Music Video & Popular Culture

Ffeithiau’r Modiwl

Rhedir gan School of Arts, Culture and Language

20.000 Credyd neu 10.000 Credyd ECTS

Amcanion cyffredinol

Although often dismissed as low art, the music video is a highly significant aspect of popular culture, reflecting various trends. The music video has its origins as marketing tools intended to promote sound recordings and can be traced back to the early twentieth century. By the 1980s with the airing of the television channel MTV the music video enjoyed a resurgence and developed into a distinct art form using a range of increasingly sophisticated narrative and cinematic tools in short format. Especially since the growth of online platforms such as YouTube, music videos have become an increasingly integral part of our experience of popular music.

Through the prism of cultural history, this module will provide students with: (1) a comprehensive introduction to the development of music videos in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; (2) an analytical framework within which these cultural artefacts may be understood.

The music video will broadly defined to include not just promotional films to accompany single songs, but also films such as Hard Day’s Night which fulfil a similar function in a longer format.

Prior musical training or the ability to read music is not required for this module; it is open to students beyond Music. The module will appeal to students interested in modern popular culture, film, identity, representation, music, visual arts.

Cynnwys cwrs

This module will explore how popular music is/has been consumed through visual media and will examine examples from the repertoire. Thus the module is both historical and analytical. It will encompass a range of genres (broadly defined), including rock, rap, metal, pop – students will be encouraged to provide suggestions for case studies. Central to the critique will be the development of MTV in the early 1980s and the impact that had on the consumption of popular culture and on the music industry; central to the exploration will be the idea of the music video as a culturally significant art form. We will also explore the early development of the form in the early twentieth century as well as forms of promotional music videos and films (with music) made by popular groups from the 1960s onwards. Using a range of case studies, we will utilise a range of analytical techniques to understand how to interpret music videos, visually and narratively. We will also look at controversial (and banned) music videos to understand more about the interaction of popular (music) youth culture and censorship and expressions of authority, repression and defiance. Please note that this module may explore themes including but not limited to: gender representation, violence, sex and sexuality in modern culture, religion, drug use.
