This video by Bob Dylan has a clear link from visuals to lyrics. The video is simple yet effective.
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
I think this a good idea for a music video because it shows the lyrics infront of you.
A lot of controversy follws this video as this is the year Bob Dylan 'went electric'.
This video was the first 'modern' promotional film clips, which was later known as a music video. 'The Rolling Stone' magazine ranked it 7th in the list of 'Top 100 Music Videos'.
There are deliberate misspellings and puns throughout the clip for example when the lyrics say "eleven dollar bills" the card says "twenty dollar bills".

Sublime:
Sublime was an American reggae fusion band from Long Beach, California. The band formed in 1988 with the most recognisable three man line up which consisted of Bradley Nowell (Vocals, Guitar) Bud Gaugh (Drums, Percussion) and Eric Wilson (Bass Guitar).
In 1996 Sublime immediatley split up after Bradley Nowell died of a heroin overdose.
Today, Sublime are known for their comical twist in their lyrics which is similar to the artist I have chosen for my music video.
I also find their music videos inspiring as it mostly consists of some sort of story line.
Sublime - Date Rape
I like that in this video the story is filmed in colour with clips back to the band who are performing this song in black and white, this shows that there is a message in this song.
The video shows visual to lyrics as the actions done by the characters is what the lyrics are. The band are also performing and singing in time with the music.

I have chosen alternative/acoustic for my genre for my music video.
From researching the two genres i have realised that the genre 'Alternative' has a bit more of a rock style to their music and 'Acoustic' is more peaceful however many acoustic bands come off as more 'geeky' and 'hippy' to the rest of the genres.
