Technical Codes


Cinematography
Camera movement may follow the movement of the performance, however it may be used to create a dynamic feel to stage the performance like circling the band as they perform. Close-ups predominate and create a sense  of intimacy for the viewer, it also emphasises the commodity on sale.


Editing 
The most common form of editing associated with the music promo is the fast out montage, rendering many of the images making it impossible to grasp on the first viewing and ensuring multiple viewing. There are also videos which use slow pace and gentler transitions to establish mood. 

Development of technical codes
The key innovation in the development of the modern music videos was the recording and editing processes along with the development of a number of related effects such as green/blue screen. The advent of high quality colour videotape recorders and portable video cameras enabled many pop acts to produce promotional videos quickly and cheaply in comparison to the relatively high cost of film.


In the 1990s, a number of new technical codes were established and became a 'game changer' in the industry.

-The most common form of editing (associated with the music promo) being fast cut montage.
- Many images shown in quick succession, impossible to grasp on the     first viewing.
- Split screen
- Colourisation

- Non-representation
