Pop up video was a television show shown on VH1 that shows a variety of music videos, usually 5 per show and throughout the course of the music video little bubbles or ‘info nuggets’ popped up containing trivial facts and witticisms.
It was created by Woody Thompson and Tad Low and for a small amount of time it was the highest rated program on VH1 before it was eventually overtaken by ‘Behind the music’ in 1998.
The music videos were selected for each show to try and include new, older, "classic", and "campy" videos, the ‘info nuggets’ usually popped up at about 10-15 second intervals containing information about both the artist, the song, the video itself and random related facts.
To gain additional insight into the production of the video in question the researchers would often interview people such as:
· The Director· Make-Up artists· Choreographers· Models and Extras were also used as additional sources
One example of this is Michael Jackson – Smooth Criminal, this example features trivial information on Jackson himself, the song lyrics, other actors within the video, costumes used and some of the initial idea behind the videos concept.
The overall aim of ‘pop up video’ is to dissect music videos therefore showing and comparing different generic conventions giving the viewer an insight into music video production. Watching a variety of different ‘pop up’ videos I have gained a better understanding of genre conventions, production techniques and the sheer scale of some music videos, all of which can be applied and in terms of scale, contrasted to my music video.
