All the Music videos I used for research were live action and featured at least one person singing with the song. Though I don’t believe a music video should have any guidelines besides being a moving image and fit with the music. For example the video should show a change when the main chorus comes or when the song becomes louder.
‘These Boots Are Made For Walking’ features a lot of women behind the main singer dancing with the song and following the lead of the singer. This is very similar to music videos in the 2000s and even now because a lot of female pop groups had many music videos similar to this. This is a very common and obvious type of music video because it uses all the features that you would expect in the common music video. The video features a lot of colour, which is greatly emphasized because the background, stage and props have very vibrant, bright colours.
Older music videos like ‘The Trottins Polka’ is also a music video. The man sings along with the music in center stage. And does a few comical dances for entertainment to make it more interesting. The most entertaining thing was his smile because he smiled through the whole video and made other faces to possibly suit the lyrics. Though I couldn't understand what the lyrics are I understood it was something funny and lighthearted from the facial expression in the video giving the video much more video beyond being entertaining.
In current times we see more music videos that are more eccentric or complex but more of the earlier music video that were like this were 'Cryin For The Carolines' which for the first half consisted of just instrumental, having me believe there were no lyrics, and the first half of the video being just paper cut outs of moons and boats moving across the screen setting the song in a more depressed atmosphere and fitting with the sound and tempo of the music. Though the meaning of the song is very unclear and obscure. The second half of the song the artist of the song comes into the video with only a closeup to his face and starts singing lyrics to the song. The paper leave the video and the video changes between landscape shots of different places and and the singer himself.
