Parody's

 I was looking at all different music videos and i thought that it would be interesting to look at parody videos because they usually focus on different mise on scene elements and the outcome is usually something funny not serious. 

You also have different sorts of parodies, some are just copies of songs and some originals. 

This parody by the Midnight Beast and is a parody of Ke$a's Die Young, i find this parody very funny because its completely contradictory and its die old instead. 
They actually use some conventions that common music videos have like for instance the camera shots that have quite a few close up and mid shots which enable you to see the actors expressions and that they are actually singing. 
What is also similar is that editing wise they do both use jump cuts to go between scenes. 
But it is clearly obviously that this is a parody with the men dressed in a wig and they are are completely taking the mick out of the original. 
The parody also has a big amount of props for instances the clown and costumes being extravagant all fit with traditional conventions.
The lighting and colour manipulation isn't quite the same as the original but  think that in the original it is quite extreme and doesn't actually allow you to even see the artist's face very clearly. 
One of the main things i actually really like about the parody and most parodys is the homemade feel they give because i think they end up looking  good and always end up funny, which isn't typical to a normal music video conventions. 

I thought it would be interesting to look at parodies because they aren't usually thought of when it comes to music videos, but they aren't always versions on original songs. 

The midnight Beast have a wide selection of original song and although they aren't the cleanest and are sometimes explicit, from what i have spoken about above they do stick to conventions of typical music videos and follow some of Goodwin theories. 
This mainly happens through a link of lyrics and visuals which helps add to the comedy. 
Another almost constant is voyeurism which happens most of the time when they are singing and are constantly directing any action toward the viewer.
