Description:
Music video is a popular and accessible topic. The videos are familiar to students, easy to get hold of and short. And because it is always changing, it is an exciting and vibrant form to study and analyse, raising interesting questions about representations, media language, institutions and audiences. It also has considerable influence upon a range of other media and cultural artefacts globally. This teaching guide gives you what you need to approach the topic with your students.
