In today's lesson as a class we watched and analysed some of the most influential music videos ever and two of them being, Madonna's 'Erotica'(1992) and Elvis Presley's 'Jail house rock'(1957)
We noticed Madonna's controversial video had a number of references to sexuality shown through costume and of course activity which at the time and perhaps even till now are seen as taboo subjects. Yet, as a class we noticed similarities between Madonna and new artist 'Lady Gaga' which already proves the power and influence music has over people.
Elvis Presley's video 'Jail house rock' clearly shows how music videos have evolved over time yet still was a great product of its time. During the video the inmates are rebelling against the prison guards which gives the indication that the rock genre is of perhaps a rather rebellious nature and the target audience of this genre expect rebellious acts from an artist from the genre.
