Experiencing Music Video: Aesthetics and Cultural Context Book

One amazing thing about this book is that it really changes the way you look at music videos. The best parts have to be the ones in which Vernallis elucidates the differences between a music video and a movie because it makes you realize how many, quite specific, aspects of music videos are taken for granted, from their editing to the lack of a narrative. Some chapters, however, are somewhat dragged out and certain analyses seem superfluous or they rely too heavily on the assumption that the reader is familiar with certain technical terms.
