Which Of The Music Promos You Have Watched Do You Think Is The more Successful In Promoting The Artists Music To Us As An Audience, And Why?
             I have watched two music promos that try and promote the music and the artists in very different ways. I have watched a video by an artist called 'Harry' and the song was called 'So Real'. She plays rock music. I have also watched a video by a band called 'Dirty Vegas' and the song was called 'Days Go By'. They play alternative music. I think that Dirty Vegas are more successful in promoting the artists music to us as the audience.
             I do not think that Harry's video for 'So Real' is a very good video to try and sell the song. I think this because it does not target a wide range of people. A lot of people would not want to watch the video as there are many disturbing parts in the video, which are deliberately unpleasant. It would only attract a small audience, although I think that is successful in promoting the song to a certain group of people. I think that this video is targeting both genders, but mainly male between the ages of about 14 and 20. They would be the type of people who would mainly listen to rock music and maybe watch music channels like 'Kerrang'. I think that it is targeted mainly at males because many males would find Harry very attractive. The director of the video obviously knows this because for most of the video, the camera is focused on her. They are hoping that Harry's image will help to sell the music. Many people, without knowing it, will watch the video and like Harry's image and therefore like the music. They have to promote her in visual terms. They use many close-ups.
             I think that for people to fully understand this video the first time they watched it, they would have to be very well educated. It is quite a complicated video and it is hard to grasp every detail the first
