Audiovisual Language Trends in Music Videos: A Review of the Scientific Literature from 2010 to 2020

Abstract

This systematic review aims to determine the audiovisual language trends in video clips according to the scientific literature from 2010 to 2020. Likewise, the articles obtained were found in the Ebsco, Redalyc, and ProQuest databases. The words “language” and “audiovisual” were used to carry out the exclusion and inclusion of the articles. The synthesis method was applied using categories to carry out the research, and the reading comprehension technique and underlining were used to obtain information. The results are related to the audiovisual language of music videos and it was found that the rhythm allows a relationship between the length of shots and the sequence. Likewise, visual elements such as shots, and angles, among others, significantly contribute to production. Likewise, the tools that are used allow the production to have the power to transmit the essence of audiovisual aesthetics. On the other hand, there were limitations such as articles in other languages like Portuguese and English, and restricted access to scientific research in databases. In conclusion, the use of rhythm can lead to the variation of balance in the sequences. Furthermore, the use of shots as a language is applied throughout the audiovisual production, which is enriched by the variety that makes up the set of images. In addition, the music videos present techniques where the production has exceptional dynamism, as previously stated.
