Today in class we had the pleasure of watching 2 Simple Plan videos. We watched the one called ""Addicted" and also "I'd do anything". We talked about the purpose of the music videos. Then talked about what Simple Plan are like now in comparison to in the 2 videos we watched.
We talked about:
"Star Image" - It is more about the band or solo artist's image and how it may change from video to video e.g Madonna never looks the same in any of her videos.
"Star Vehicle" -
"Star Power" - This is where sometimes in a video the band or solo artist is trying to promote their charity or trying to make people think about a certain thing e.g Live 8 song..trying to promote live 8.
With Simple Plan their 'Star Image' has recently changed. The lead singer has now got an arm full of tattoos and has longer hair. David (bassist) has a stubble and so does Chuck the drummer. The music has become more 'Pop'. This is all reflected in the latest video because there are lots of close ups on the band members.
I will be putting up the videos soon.
