Abstract
SEDENO-VALDELLOS, Ana. Transmedia expansion in music video: study cases for visual albums in the current music industry. Comun. soc [online]. 2023, vol.20, e8514. Epub Dec 08, 2023. ISSN 0188-252X. https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v2023.8514.
The visual album represents a new communicative artifact originated with the logic of the transmedia context in its expansion of the music video clip format. Three case studies are analyzed, using multimodal analysis to know the meaning and contribution of visual materials, looking for elements of intertextuality and repetition of motifs and visual patterns for the realization of a storytelling. The conclusions point to three different paths in the construction of a self-expressive representation of the artists, thanks to a visualized performativity and materialized in a greater intertextuality and use of cultural appropriation.
