Analysis of a good music video: Gangnam Style



If you havent heard already about the 'Gangnam Style' craze then you must have been living under a rock. The South Korean artist PSY has taken the world by storm with his music video 'Gangnam Style'. Psy has now even broke the Guinness World Record with his globally popular music video “Gangnam Style" for being the 'Most liked' YouTube video in YouTube history and he managed to top the iTune charts in 31 countries...even though the song is totally in korean! It's the MUSIC VIDEO that's mange to captivate the world.

The Music Video highly praised for its humour, catchy rhythm and dance! And It's true, the music video is hilarious and watching the video I just wanted to dance along with it! The music video is definitely my all time favourite music video! I have seen the video some many times and never bored of it! 
I love the transition of different locations, how in every scene it's totally random but flows and works! 
There's a fair amount of editing and most of them to the beat. I don't think there's any special FX added on the video.
 The music video is also a perfect example of using base-tracks!
