MV RESEARCH - Connected Narratives

POSSIBLE POINTS OF INFLUENCES:
  • A later video teased within the video itself by showing a clip when there are multiple short takes, so that it isn't too evident and doesn't stick out 
  • Have a clip from "another" video coming up, so as to hint there are more coming, this could be for the new single coming up.



GUNS 'N ROSES
This Pitchfork article looks at the trilogy.

DAVID BOWIE 
Outside
Blackstar 

HALSEY
Trailer, didn't feature clips from the videos but the songs

TRICKY
With his debut album Marxinquaye, Each video seems to transport us to the next one by the end.

IVY LEVAN
The first video ends with a classic cliffhanger with the robbers/thugs having captured Levan in the boot of a car. 
The second video sees her being tied up and eventually freeing herself and brutally slaughtering her captors.
However, some of the scenes in the second video 
Then the next video features one of the masked-thugs again, she seems to be continuing her revenge.
These masked thugs were seen in her live performance videos as well, they sort of became part of the branding (Goodwin talking about how an artists might develop certain visual traits)
The fourth video doesn't feature these thugs, however in the behind the scenes video the director says thematically the video is a continuation of the lyrics saying "I Don't Wanna Wake Up".
