What do real audiences consume?
After looking at and analysing some music videos to try and find conventions which they followed as well as looking at the types of shots they used and how different styles of music video are structured (narrative, performance, concept). We have now decided to look at popular music videos to try and see patterns in what audiences like to consume.
When searching up the most popular music videos of 2015 we found that the most popular videos were 'See You Again' by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, 'Hello' by Adele, 'Lean On' by Major Lazer and DJ Snake and 'Sugar' by Maroon 5. These were all very big mainstream tracks. The most viewed track of all time is Gangnam Style by PSY with around 2.5 billion views followed by See You Again by Wiz Khalifa with around 1.5 billion views. Both of these videos were not famous because of the song itself. Gangnam Style is so famous because of the slightly rediculous music video and the dance which they made to go with the song. Whereas See You Again is from the sound track of a very famous movie sieries, Fast and Furious, and the song was written in memory of one of the cast members who died.
