Deadlines/Brief

Music videos are so 80s/90s, right? They belong with the era when MTV screened wall-to-wall vids instead of 'reality' TV? Try telling that to the millions who bought Gangnam Style; were they really simply loving the music? 1.6bn (and still climbing) have viewed the video on YT, not to mention the many re-makes (school eg, eg2), viral ads + celeb link-ups (even political protest in Seoul) - and it doesn't matter how legit it is, this nightmare for daydream Beliebers is making a lot of money, even from the parodies + dislikes. All this for a simple dance track that wouldn't have sounded out of place in 1990 ... but had a fun vid. This meme itself was soon displaced by the Harlem Shake. Music vids even cause diseases it seems!
This blog explores every aspect of this most postmodern of media formats, including other print-based promo tools used by the industry, its fast-changing nature, + how fans/audiences create/interact.

your blog vids

Lots of excellent vids appearing on blogs - alas, many of them are through vimeo or divshare, and few of them have been passed on to me as I keep requesting you do!
I'd like to be adding these to the IGSMedia channel as you complete these; I've added a few I can access to a new playlist.
PLEASE PASS ON VIDS AS YOU COMPLETE THEM!!!
Here's one of many good egs:
