In this essay, Alice Dukes delves into the story of this subgenre of filmmaking, which some critics say has the potential to attach meaning to a song and increase the critical value of the medium. Alice takes a closer look to “Next to Me”, from Imagine Dragons – a piece that is the perfect hybrid of the short fiction film and the music video formats.
