Hey Everyone! Welcome to a special blog posting : Video On Trial!
I'm going to talk about two videos and judge them from an artist point of view. (Aka are they awesome or just not good.)
First up....
California Gurls -Katy Perry
Let me start off by saying that I actually do like this song. However, the video is completely insane and I mean insane in a bad way. First, there is no connection between all the candy other then a sexual one. There seems to be no point to this video other than sexual innuendos. As a viewer I want to see a video that goes along with the song or at least something that makes sense. The only thing good about the video to me was the animation effects and the vibrant colours.
Next up...
Thriller - Micheal Jackson
I chose this as a good video for a few reasons. Although made in a different time, for the time the effects were cutting edge and made people terrified due to the werewolf's face. The story makes sense for the song and the song in its own is just awesome. You can't break this classic. Then just to make this video even better, good old MJ breaks out into the famous Thriller dance. There is a reason why this song is so famous and why everyone knows this dance. The video was good and the story was effective.
Let me know what you think! Leave a comment and join this Video On Trial.

Thanks for your video on trial post. I agree with both of your verdicts.
Re: Katy Perry's video. Why does it seem as though videos are mostly made for a male audience? Women buy music too!
Re: MJ's. A landmark video. I also loved "Beat It" for the incredible dancing.
That is very true. Most videos are made for men it seems... and "Beat It" is pretty awesome.
