Since the introduction of electronic literature I began thinking about how we can look at music videos as literature. The video I included was a Basshunter megamix that in Europe is seen as a story. They actually had a competition where people wrote what to do next in the story. If we look at stories as literature then I believe we can look at music videos as a form of literature. Many music videos tell stories that the songs describe. This video my roommate watches a good amount so I began watching it and realized it is a story. Music has always been used to tell stories and combined with technology videos may be used to illustrate the story the music tells. I spent some time looking through YouTube and found a few videos that illustrate the stories really well but I enjoyed this one most of all. I understand that literature is typically seen as books and but books are stories and music and music videos are stories as well. I don’t know that you can distinguish literature as something that is written because art can be literature as well. I believe literature is a story being told.
