Literal music video
The term literal video clip ( video short literal or literal, English for:. Literally ) is a fairly new form of artistic expression from the field of video processing. Above all music videos are transformed into their song - text so that her new text is indeed quite still resting in the scheme and in appearance to the original, but very close to reflect the contents of the image contents of the accompanying videos.
Features
In most cases the results are entertaining, sometimes created specifically with humor. Often, the text is greatly exaggerated tailored to the imagery, so even commonplace -trivial elements are mentioned in the text, as if it would be a Zusatztonspur for the visually impaired. Just as the original music is sought mostly in English, so are the revisions. Occasionally even subtitles are offered, which should help rather for the deaf or for non-native speakers, however.
Topics
As a basis, the satisfaction of desire serves to line the video so with a soundtrack that therefore the action is played. Quote from the video description to the first book:
History
The methodology was first made on 3 October 2008 on the basis of the video clip for the song "Take On Me" of the 80's group " Aha " by posting them on YouTube by the user " DustoMcNeato " and is made of a wider public with it. To date (June 2013) this video has to have about 12 million views and is classified by the seers with the maximum quality rating. As a result of this success, other publications of a similar nature from various sources were added.
At Christmas 2009, a modification of the title of " Last Christmas " by " Wham " was released for example by a different reviewer. The new version contains swipes at the private life of the lead singer and discusses several methods of cinematic staging while passing smaller weaknesses of the original video material showing as the focal point. Furthermore, several times a colloquial term of abuse was troubled.
Terms of Use
Since in many cases is video and audio hobbyists whose work basis are the works of commercially successful artists, who are still bound to a rule to record companies, the rights to these works usually are not purchased by this or would not be any commercially available for such work. Here then attacks mostly the ruling in the United States of speech and artistic freedom. Nevertheless, there was for example the end of 2008 to temporarily lock the first work of this form of expression. The lock had about eight months in hand and was subsequently repealed by the video portal again without further notice.
