PAYPHONE - MAROON 5 FEAT. WIZ KHALIFA
I am unsure if I really like this music video or not. I think if I didn't like the song as much as I do then I wouldn't even both watching it.
The video almost has no resemblance to the song at all apart from the fact that Adam Levine starts and finishes the video in a payphone and the songs called payphone.
The video is a content video and so if you didn't know the song then you would strongly believe that it belonged to a movie soundtrack.
There aren't very many generic elements to this video either. Although it does have a basic love story that isn't the main focus of the video and it almost takes on the role of a crime drama, as it includes so much digetic sound which almost makes me think that the video is aimed to please the male demographic.
I found it hard to determine whether the video is secondary or primary to the music/artist in relation to sales. Some may argue that because it is a content video you are only drawn to watch the video because you want to see what the outcome of it is. However both Maroon 5 n=and Wiz Khalifa are both huge artists and you could say that no matter what the video is like, there fans are going to watch it.
