Music videos have been a staple of the music industry for quite a long time. The medium has experienced a more extensive use in the time of the television program MTV, which has not yet existed in the year 1966, when the song I will be making a music video for, has been released; the song is Les Cornichons by the french singer Nino Ferrer.
The goal of this diploma thesis is to make a music video for this song.
The thesis is comprised of two parts – the theoretical, where it will be explored how music videos are made, what their history is, in what aspects the production of music videos and classical film differs, what kind of aesthetic similiar mediums used in the time when this song was released (we are mostly interested in the French New Wave movement), in the second part, the experimental section, all of this knowledge will be used whilst creating the music video.
The final goal of this thesis is to make a cohesive music video, that will fall into the aesthetics of those times, yet at the same time, add an air of modernity to it, and to explore the process of music video production, its history and the aesthetics of the French New Wave.
