Music Video Journal

For this blog entry, I watched the MTV-U channel which actually played music and music videos, which absolutely shocked me considering it's a subsidiary of MTV. I watched a couple videos and watching the videos helped me realize who the music is targeting. The one that I remember well is the song "5 Minutes to Midnight" by Boys Like Girls. The video was a "candid" video with occasional scenes of the band playing/singing the song. This video made it clear the video was for the late high school into college crowd and the idea of having fun on a summer night. The lyrics stated it as well, but the video added a nice element to the song and made it an enjoyable song to watch and listen to, a rare occasion in today's musical world.
