1980's

1983. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes
This song was initially band in the 1980s by the BBC because of conflict that was happening between America and Russia.  The layout of this music video shows a fight, based on what a typical boxing scene would be, people placing bids backing up the one they're supporting. The artist is part of the narrative again in this music video, miming along to the words, however the only main difference of this music video is the colour. There is also much quicker/sharper cuts to the beat of the music instead of the 1970s where there was the odd cut every now and again

1986. Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
The animation in this music video is very surrealistic with all the different types of animation that fits in with the music. It's completely different to the earlier 80s music promo however, there are still similarities. For example there is still no full performance of the musical instruments but the artist is miming to the music.
