Iconic Music Vids

We were asked to note two iconic music videos in a lesson;

The Buggles- iconic video because it was the 1st video to be shown on mtv.

Michael Jackson- Thriller. More like a short film, MJ is the king of pop and this is probably his most well known single.

I dont have an example of a weak music video but i think a weak video would be one with very long takes and not a lot of shot variation. Also not a lot of varied angles as well as shot types. A black and white video could be boring but there are examples of video that are current that have been done in black and white for effect such as firestarter- the prodigy 1996 and Beyonce - single ladies (2008)
