Context. Amy and Sharon have gotten me interested in music videos again. So I have spent about 2 hours looking at videos on iTunes and Limewire. I tried to find the one we watched again in class last week, and it took me over an hour to remember who it was (Phil Vassar, "This is My Life"). While I was looking, I found one of my absolute favorites -- "Take On Me" by AHa. I love the love story they develop and the intersection of animation and live action. I am always so sad for the girl that gets shoved back to life only to read the comic and see the boy get hit with the wrench and then struggle to get through to life again. It's hard to describe, but if you are familiar with the video, you understand.
How I would use this -- I guess I could use this video as an intro to comics. It would be an interesting study of special effects and editing as well. The plot might be used to show exposition, inciting moment, rising action, climax and resolution.

I had never thought of this as an intro to comics ( I only thought of the nostalgia factor) I am wondering what aspects you would draw out of the video
