Redundancy and Entropy

"Luv (sic) pt. 2" by Nujabes feat. Shing02

Redundancy:

·        The beat and melody are ordinary for the kind of genre

·         Odd faces that the people pull towards the camera

·        The Rap speed and scratching are predictable

·        Different colours are key in different shots

·        Odd objects that people hold are very personal

Entropy:

·        Ordinary Japanese Setting; buildings, clothing, structures and the background

·        Slow motion movement of the camera and people

·        The artist isn’t shown

No clear link to visuals and lyrics as the lyrics are about love

will.i.am, Nicki Minaj - Check It

Redundancy:

·        Modern pop culture clothing and make-up

·        Dance sequences recognizable in pop video

·        Heavily Japanese influenced music video, recognizable by young audiences

·        Bright colours and lighting contrast with dark setting

·        Set in a studio is predictable in a pop culture

Entropy

·        Japanese dialogue at start

·        Shows equipment that record the artists

·        Mechanical movement and emotions seem odd

·        Large colouful titles are shown which contain unpredictable elements

Tantrum Desire – Reach

Redundancy:

·        Main character has a predictable style of clothing and hair

·        Night life of the street and lights are normal

·        Club setting with strobe lights and the amount of people is recognizable

·        The people in masks are shown throughout the music video making it have a high predictability

·        Drinking alcohol in the video which is suitable in this genre of music

Entropy:

·         Arguments when the main character gets into the club

·         Him kissing the person in the mask and how it changes quickly

·         Most people in the club are wearing a mask

The main guy has the same clothing as the person with the mask at the end of the music video
