Visual Communication, as found in Williams, shows that music video and other such outlets "maintain a strong relation to print models." (Williams p.131)
The visualization has to be something people can relate to in some form or fashion in order to truly be seen as a visual media. Finding an audience that understands one's work is difficult enough, but it is made much easier in music video in how they are capable of having lyrics along with the imagery of the media. As with the video seen above; we see a distinction between knowing what is and isn't reality. The visual side of it allows us to see something in reality that isn't. Vision is our reality and in turn when we are able to see that which our brain tells us isn't real it becomes the reality of the vision but not so with the mind.
Vision is something that reality cannot achieve in most senses as what we see can often be misleading and in the misbelief we sense another part of reality that we all wish to touch. "This naturalness shows itself as constructed when it breaks-" (Williams p.144) or in other words when our disbelief is destroyed from any amount of small details our vision also takes in that adjusts our reality. When we suddenly see a wire on someone that is 'flying' it ruins the entire mystique of the idea that the person is flying. The imagination is destroyed when we can see how the 'trick' works.
In turn we all want to be shown something that bends reality, but we are curious as a species to want to know how the bend works. You hear the music from a guitar and you cannot just accept the music for what it is, you must understand how the music comes out that way. As such we can see music videos but we want to know how they did those fantastic images and editing. Our minds go to all the different means they could pull of such amazing shots and imagery just because we need to know.
