Music Video Genre Research



The genre that we have chosen for our music video is rock, on the basis that in most rock music videos there is a mixture of interesting lively performance and a unique narrative.

Since the song that was chosen, ‘Brain Damage’ by Pink Floyd was primarily rock with many themes of psychedelic that was very popular in the 1960s era that this song is from, the conventions and themes would make a music video very unique. Psychedelic rock was created, to replicate and enhance a drug experience, which was common in that time. Style came from a fusion of traditional Indian cultured music and blues.  Bands like Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac used this new rock style in their music and saw it increase in popularity immensely. The images that were common in this genre were bright coloured squiggled lines moving out of a primary image. An example of this is the picture below





Artist using pyschadelic rock were usually influenced by drugs like LSD and marijuana and saw it becoming more and more popular in that era. 

Raph Jims.
