Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen released 31 October 1975 is a very well known song as well as the band being very popular at the time. The genre of music is rock, which we can tell after watching this 5.55 long music video due to both the sound and mainly the costumes. Throughout we see a stage performance which usually is an indicator that shows this song is this specific type of genre. There does not seem to be much of a relationship between the lyrics/music to the visuals. There is no reference to notion of looking or any credits at the end of the video. The video does not have many special effects, but does have lots of different lighting making it more interesting to watch, also lots of fade out's were used in editing the video. The camera shots and angles are very basic, slow paced and are repeated throughout most of the video.
As Long As You Love me is a song by Justin Bieber which has recently been made and distributed. This contempory video differs a lot to the Bohemain Rhapsody s music videos mainly because it is performance based and visually and vocally tells a story. The lyrics and music interlink very well with the visuals that have been shown in this video. It shows a typical love story and is really like a mini film compared to an actual music video. The camera shots and angles are very varied throughout the song and changed at quite a fast pace but record labels include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist develop motifs which reoccur across a lot of their work (a visual style). A dance performance by Justin Bieber is also put into the middle of the video which is typical in contemporary music videos. Notion of looking is also involved in this video as this is a popular trait in modern music videos nowadays. Costumes, makeup and special effects are also much more concentrated on and developed to make the present day/current music vidoes more realistic.
