Music Videos of note

Hello year 12 into year 13.
Well done for getting through the exam and completing your blogs. Let's move on...

Your advanced portfolio production in year 13 is the creation of an original music video for a song of your choice (already recorded - no copyright worries here). You also have to design and create a CD cover the release and create a magazine advertisement to promote it.

It is important that you begin to explore the medium of the music video and how it has developed since its inception. For starters, here's a HUGE-ish list of music videos which I believe safely fall into the category of 'interesting'. Start watching and find out why!
