How music videos make me feel?
At the moment some music videos are quite explicit and can be rude in certain ways, they can show men and women half naked acting moves which I feel is not necessary for the song. This makes me feel annoyed and angry with the artist because it can be watched my all ages and I feel it is inappropriate for the audience and maybe they should only be shown after 10 o/clock. The reason for this would be that the younger audience will be in bed. For example: Robin Thicke Blurred Lines makes me annoyed because I feel he is disrespecting women by having naked women walking around.
There are also music videos that I like and can be shown at any time of day as it is appropriate to its audience and relates to the song. Some are really good and can make you laugh, smile and sing along to the song. For example: Rizzle Kicks, Lost generation video relates to the song and tells the story of how lost our generation is at the moment and how fast we are changing and becoming very different to our parents time.
Other music videos can be quite sad and upsetting as it tells you a sad story that has occurred to the artist or somebody they know. These generally make me feel quiet, thoughtful and upset. For example: Ed Sheeran, Small Bump. This video is set in a hospital while the artist is waiting for his son to be born, but sadly the baby dies.

You also get videos that are just dancing and these tend to make me feel good and want to dance and jump around. For example:  Macalmore, Thirft Shop. This video is all crazy with people dancing in weird clothes.
