The Chosen Two: Party Police

For the two days in which we had decided to split up on the suggestion of our teacher, we all had already considered different songs for ourselves. But after further discussion when we decided to get back together, we seemed to be having doubts about our previous song and so, we chose Party Police by Alvvays as the song for our music video.

So considering our video contains a depiction of a lesbian couple, if it happens to fall under the viewership of people with conservative views (which is...

Music Videos - what's the point?

There doesn't have to be a point, you love them. If you don't, you do . In the music industry as we know it today, music videos have become a vital part of it, especially with platforms like YouTube (which we're all very much familiar with) that cater to streaming music videos. Apparently 55% of YouTube users watch music videos everyday (it's me, I'm users). The significance of music videos can be observed in the way award shows now have categories for them - Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and there's too many to list. So, I daresay, for people of mainstream pop-culture, it's grown to become a competition with artists setting and breaking records for views. Music videos, though initially made to promote artists or films, do a lot more than just that now. Prominent artists, with their large fanbases, in the industry dominate charts worldwide each time they make a comeback and drop an MV. These music videos address a variety of things: They could add...
