Self Awareness within Music Videos

The Beatles - Hello Goodbye 


In this The Beatles refer top themselves as they have turned over a new leaf as it were and are creating a new look for themselves. This is tied together by the fact that it indeed in reference to the song. 

Fall Out Boy - This Ain't a Scene


In this video you can see that it has taken a different perspective as it is tying to the narrative of the video. 

These are examples of videos that are self aware of the band that they have been produced from. As you can seen from the era differences, it is a style that has been carried across throughout the decades of the music industry. 
In terms of promotion it is a clever technique. Almost subliminal towards the audience it lets them know of the other productions that they have to offer. This is a well thought out marketing process and technique. 
In terms of my own video, I think that having this technique would be a rare convention and it shall be featured in a different way. Very little relation to the music video and mostly about the promotion.
