Lyric Interpretation is the defining, debunking and/or renditions of what the audience think the lyrics mean or insinuate, vague lines and lyrics construing to a theme or are random can turn into fan theories and span appreciation from the obscurity and undefined nature which in turn increases the "lifespan" of the song and therefore the artist.
Consolidating a songs meaning is to unite and therefore strengthen its significance to real world applications/events or within the artists musical history, this can be denounced from songs such as We are the World which had its meaning strengthened by the famine, poverty and droughts affecting the citizens of Ethiopia and raising money and awareness over the subject of charity, if a songs meaning is strengthened at a critical time then the effectiveness of the lyrics will become more efficient and in this case did by raising $63 million for charity which had successfully impacted the audience.
Focus on performer during a music video is when the video directs attention to the skills and talents of the producer which are highlighted to prove their musical ability to the audience who are targeted for promote image and perhaps merchandise and the audience who view it are more likely to be enticed by the performer image, design and merchandise and in most cases logo.
Lighting for mood is when set lighting or lighting effects added during editing portray a mood or emotion purposely added by creative directors, the producer or editing directors. This helps to set a mood used in the video for a genre, story or to connote meaning in the lyrics/style of music.
An example would be the multiple colours used in the background for drakes hotline bling, the mellow soft lighting is complimented by the relaxed slow tempo and beat of the song and depending on colour can effect the audience in a variety of ways.
Allusion in a music video is an indirect or implied reference to a person, event or thing of the past which is different to a parody as a parody attempts to be humorous and is not a homage as its a brief reference stated in a lyric or a visual tribute which can make the audience understand further the meaning of the lyrics or provide a recognisable visual aid to the video.
B
an example of a green screen video would be Kanye wests Bound 2
An example of multi image would be Californication by red hot chilli peppers
An example of cutting to a beat would be Michael Jacksons Thriller
Katy perry's dark horse has miming and lip syncing
The Gorillaz Feel Good music video is animated
Toy Soldiers references other artists and social development at the time
An illustrative video is that which tells a straightforward story and plot accompanied by the video which displays that story an example being Guilty Conscience by Eminem
An interpretive video is the exact opposite of the aforementioned which is interpreted and vague unlike the guided story-lines and an example of this would be the music video for Rhinestone Eyes by the Gorillaz
A surreal music video is one that has qualities and features that would render it insane, random or weird compared to a daily lifestyle and an example for this is MGMTs Kids.
A homage is a tribute Or reference to another form of media such as Michael Jacksons thriller which is a homage to 80s horror flicks.
An as-live video is a video dedicated to the band/producer playing live and on stage an example for this being bohemian rhapsody
Unlike a homage parody bases itself on mockery and humour often poking fun at the original piece of work and a prime example of this is BLINK 182s small things which pokes fun at cringeworthy videos.
