6000-9000 word written dissertation
I have decided to focus my dissertation on the art of the animated music video. I have always found the use of animation and music together a very expressive art form and would like to look further into it.
I will be looking into the history of the animated music video and discussing how the development of technology has aided the many different styles of animated music videos over the years.
I will also be discussing topics such as the 'virtual band' which conspires of physical musicians with completely animated members fronting the band and how they have created their very own genre of music over the years.
Shorter chapters will include the discussion of the opportunities of the animated music videos along with some success stories of amateur animators creating well known animated music videos and what potential animated music videos will have in the future.
Practical
For my practical, I will be making an existing band into a virtual band. At this moment in time I am not 100% sure on which band/artist I will choose to animate, but whichever it may be, I will attempt to keep the animation style in accordance with the image of the band.
