Videos i like - Movies - Alien Ant Farm


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhrIN75Y2Mk


I really like this video because of its film references, it takes me back to times i would sit and watch them all day. It is a very playful and enjoyable song and music video. In the video they play the roles and re-enact some films, such as Ghostbusters (shooting Axl Rose with their instruments), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (starring as Oompa Loompas and a girl in the crowd turns into a blue ball like Violet), Edward Scissorhands (one of the band members get AAF cut into their hair by Scissorhands) and the Karate Kid (with Mr. Miyagi healing the injuries). It is always a good video to watch and it relates to the song title, but not particularly the lyrics.. bar one line in the chorus 'And just like the movies, we play out our last scene.'

Videos I like - A Million Ways - OK Go!




(Not the actual video, it couldn't be embedded) The dance is the main focus here. Alot of my favourite music videos include dances. This is because i really enjoy seeing the dances, and the more unusual the better! Ok Go are by no means brilliant dancers, but they've took a
relatively hard track to make a music video for and turned it into a fun experience for the viewer! I love this video because its just
fun to watch, and you can tell the performers are having fun making it! And thats what music is all about in my view

Videos I like - The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang



I like this video because there is always something going on. The mise-en-scene is a simple town, but the outfits and costume really sparkle up the video. I love the outfits as it keeps me interested, and the video is really simplistic, and includes an easy to learn dance in the video. Having a dance in a video is a good way to get people talking about it, and it can bring people joy if a friend can do the dance, as its a funny video and people will know what they are doing
