MÜZİK VİDEOLARININ ESTETİĞİ MTV STİLİ: DESPACITO

Year 2021, Volume: 29 Issue: 2, 60 - 77, 30.06.2021

Abstract

Sinemanın doğuşundan bu yana görsel estetik algılar ve anlatılar değişmekte, yeni biçimleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Değişen anlatı biçimleri ve müzik endüstrisinin ticari başarı arayışı müzik videolarını getirmekte, dijital teknolojilerin gelişimi müzik videolarının üretimini ve dağıtımını geliştirmektedir. MTV stili kavramı, müzik videolarının estetik özelliklerini ifade etmektedir. Geleneksel anlatı sinemasının özelliklerinden farklılaşan MTV stili, görüntülerin renkler veya benzer kompozisyonlarla birbirine bağlanması, hızlı ve atlamalı kesmelere dayanması, kamera hareketleri ile devinim sağlanması, müziğin ve görüntülerin birbirini desteklemesi özelliklerini barındırmaktadır. Popüler kültürün önemli taşıyıcılarından olan müzik videoları milyarlarca insana ulaşmakta ve aynı zamanda videoların görsel estetik biçimlerini de etkilemektedir. Müzik videolarının gelişimi, dijital çekim ve kurgu sistemlerinin ortaya çıkışıyla hızlanmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, popüler kültürün ve dijital medyanın parçası olan müzik videolarının yapısının incelenmesi, ortaya çıkışında ve gelişiminde etkili olan faktörlerin belirlenmesi, müzik videolarının görsel estetiğini tanımlayan MTV stilinin özelliklerinin ortaya konmasıdır. YouTube’da en çok izlenen video olan Despacito müzik videosu bu kapsamda incelenmekte ve videonun içeriği, çekim ve kurgu teknikleri detaylıca analiz edilerek, MTV stili bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir.
