A Style of its own.

When people think about style, they typically think of clothing or how people act. Most people never consider that music videos have a style that is clearly recognizable even to the uninformed. This style can be recognized by the fact that the visual portion is "(a) interconnected and interrelated with the music and aural presentation," and "(b) interconnected and interrelated with the other media."(Williams, 2003, p. 97) It is the overall combination of the music, lyrics, and images that make up the style of a music video. Each of these elements has something to contribute to the overall feel of the video, and while they can be viewed on their own they are truly great when viewed together. The music has the ability to take the listener on a journey through their own mind to places they had never thought about before. The lyrics have the power to bring forth a connection with the viewer that transcends the bonds of normalcy. The images have the ability to bring cohesion to the music and lyrics, providing a solid idea the viewer can associate with the video as a whole in order to keep it in there minds for a long time to come.
