Research Of Concepts

Voyeurism
This is an idea that came from Freud which is about gendered pleasures of cinema. It refers to the idea of looking to gain pleasure. 
It is to emphasise peoples sexuality, when in videos men and women are shown sexually as an object. 

This idea becomes more complex when we see the male body on display where questions may be raised about how a female may react, to when a male will react when a female is on show. 


Narrative and Performance
With the development of technology, music videos are able to become more detailed and interesting. Following this it means that the videos can tell a narrative story where the words are acted out in some way usually used in slower songs.
A performance allows the artists to record different things e.g. socialising in the park etc. and record it for the video purpose.  

My Own Research From Music Videos In This Era

I researched this video from the 1960's by Ronettes - Be My Baby


I found that this video was very similar to other music videos that I had found. The common things I saw were that the camera shots which were all basic, a neutral background, background dancers, minimal dance moves.   


I also found this video of Dusty Springfield - I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself.
Again in this video it is very basic and in black and white. In this video there are no dancers and a bit more of an interesting backdrop.
