Repetition in Music Videos
Definition:
"This is the repetition of a sound, syllable, word, phrase, line or stanza that is used at a basic unifying device in music. It may reinforce or supplement the controlling factor in the arrangement of lyrics in a musical piece."
Repetition is basically used in music videos to help us remember the lyrics or the song so we recognize this song next time we hear or see a segment from it.
There are the four main basic types of repetition used in music videos:
1) Alliteration- Repeating the same constant sound at the beginning of several words.
2) Anaphora- A device that consists of repeating words at the beginning of neighboring clauses.
3)Phrases- For example the repetition of phrases in the chorus.
4) Beat- The rhythmic beat in the song.
These techniques are used in every music video, but so that we as an audience do not realize because of the way they are edited into the video.
