This lesson i have watched several music videos just to give me an idea of the way in which directors and bands link their video's to their music, or not at all, and how the video is timed to relate to the music in it. In future posts i will post both the video's i have watched and individual analysis for each one. I have chosen to focus my attention on music video's of the heavy rock/metal genre. However I will analyse music video's from several different and varied artists, both in the style of their music and the period it is from to see how the genre and its video's have developed over time to represent their different audiences and their emotions/thoughts. As rock is traditionally listened to by rebellious teens, as it first was when it was introduced, I will see if that teenage following remains, or whether or not the genre has stayed with its first audiences and is not as Popular as its first emergence in the 70's and its Golden Age in the 1980's.
I will look at the widely accepted founders of the Genre, Black Sabbath, and then see how their music changed with Judas Priest discarding the blues roots of heavy metal. The sound of Heavy metal then developed through time with bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Dio, as well as their Glam-Rock cousins Motley Crue and Kiss. To the contempory rock bands such as Slipknot, Rise Against and The Darkness
