Este artículo analiza el brand place­ment del top 30 de la lista de éxitos Billboard Hot 100 de 2016. Para ello se proponen los siguientes objetivos espe­cíficos: conocer qué artistas, marcas y productos aparecen en los hits interna­cionales; observar el tiempo que ocupan las marcas en los videoclips y analizar si las marcas se integran o se imponen forzando la narrativa del videoclip. La metodología —que combina técnicas cualitativas y técnicas cuantitativas— se inicia con un análisis de contenido que pretende medir la frecuencia y el modo en que las marcas son integradas en los videoclips. En segundo lugar, se aplica un análisis cualitativo con pers­pectiva semiótica para observar la in­tegración de las marcas en el discurso audiovisual. La muestra se centra en la lista de éxitos Billboard, la más im­portante de la industria de la música a escala internacional en 2016, un año que destaca por la recuperación del sector discográfico. Los resultados apuntan que el videoclip se convierte en un so­porte promocional de especial interés para las marcas y permiten confirmar que la presencia de las marcas varía desde un emplazamiento impuesto a una integración sutil, pero perfecta­mente reconocibles por la audiencia.   Brand Placement in Billboard Hot 100 Music Videos: Brand Integration or Imposition? This paper analyses brand placement in the top 30 music videos on the Bill­board Hot 100 chart in 2016. To that end, three specific objectives are propo­sed. First, the paper will identify the ar­tists, brands and products that appear in these international hits. Second, the paper will focus on the duration of time occupied by the brands in the music videos. Finally, the article will examine whether the brands have been integra­ted into or, on the contrary, imposed on and forced into the narrative of the mu­sic video. The methodology, which com­bines qualitative and quantitative tech­niques, begins with a content analysis intended to measure the frequency and way in which the brands are integrated into the music videos. Then a qualita­tive analysis will be carried out from a semiotic perspective in order to discern the degree of integration or imposition of brands in the audiovisual discourse of the music video. The sample is drawn from the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which was the most important list in the inter­national music industry in 2016, a year that stands out because of the recovery of the record industry. The results indi­cate that music videos have become an advertising format of special interest to brands and confirm that the presence of brands ranges from imposed placement to subtle integration, but that they are perfectly recognisable to the audience in either case.

Music video has become an increasingly integral component of the music recording business over the past three decades. Major US record companies with international divisions have made music clips since the 1970s to promote their acts in the UK and continental Europe where television shows were a more important form of promotion for recording artists. However, record labels did not make a full commitment to music clips until after the premiere of MTV in August 1981 as a 24-hour US cable programme service presenting an endless stream of music videos. As MTV's popularity blossomed in the early 1980s, music video revitalised a troubled record industry suffering a prolonged recession by prompting renewed consumer interest in pop music and successfully developing several new recording acts like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Boy George with provocative visual images.

The soundtrack music video is an audiovisual format used by the cultural industries of film and music as a commercial communication tool, since it is based on a song from the soundtrack of a film, so that both the artist that performs the song and the film itself obtain promotional benefits. This paper conceptualizes this poorly studied phenomenon of cross-promotion connecting the music and film industries and uses a content analysis of 119 music videos produced over a period of 33 years in order to study the importance of the artist and the movie in the video, the various strategies developed in order to accomplish its double promotional mission, and the specific formal and strategic features of this audiovisual format. Analysis reveals that the soundtrack music video has the distinctive feature of including promotional elements both for the musical artist and for the movie. Although the artist tends to be more prominent, the vast majority of music videos include images from the film or use various ways of integrating the artist’s identity with the film’s iconography or narrative. Anyway, it is a phenomenon characterized by diversity, with the common pattern of the dual promotional objective, but with different ways of implementing that pattern.

Brand placement is used as an alternative advertising strategy. This case study aimed at investigating its efficacy in music videos in the UK, Spain and Italy through surveys. The first research question aimed at determining the degree of association between nationality and brand familiarity. Results have reported a directional association for half the brands advertised. The second research question aimed at determining the correlation between brand familiarity and brand recall. This study demonstrated that the greater the familiarity of the brand, the more likely it is to be recalled after watching a music video. The third research question aimed at determining whether participants were more aware of brands that they had not previously heard of after watching the music videos. Results showed similar responses of participants either agreeing or disagreeing with the statement and similar results were obtained for the Italian and British samples. It could be concluded that brand placement in music videos is especially effective in certain cultures and situations.

Abstract. Music video (MV) content is frequently measured using researcher descriptions. This study examines subjective or viewers’ notions of sex and violence. 168 university students watched 9 mainstream MVs. Incidence counts of sex and violence involve more mediating factors than ratings. High incidents are associated with older viewers, higher scores for Expressivity, lower scores for Instrumentality, and with video orders beginning with high sex and violence. Ratings of sex and violence are associated with older viewers and lower scores for Instrumentality. For sex MVs, inexperienced viewers reported higher incidents and ratings. Because MVs tend to be sexier but less violent than TV and film, viewers may also use comparative media standards to evaluate emotional content MVs.

This paper explores how digital media can cause the representational value of rap artists to be transformed. Ubiquitous access to digital recording, production and distribution technologies grants rappers an unprecedented degree of representational autonomy, meaning they are able to integrate the street aesthetic into their lyrics and music videos, and thus create content that offers a more authentic representation of their (past) lives. Sidestepping the mainstream music industry, the digital enables these integrations and bolsters the hypercapitalist impulses of content creators. I illustrate these ideas through a case study of grime artist, Bugzy Malone, who uses his music to narrate his evolution from a life of criminality (selling drugs on the street; a ‘roadman’), to one in which his representational value is recognised by commercial brands who want to partner with him because of his street credibility (collecting ‘royalties’). Bugzy Malone’s commercial success is not predicated on a departure from his criminal past, but the deliberate foregrounding of it as a marker of authenticity. The representational autonomy provided by digital media can therefore enable artists to maximise the affective cachet of the once-criminal self.

The visual design elements and principles (VDEPs) can trigger behavioural changes and emotions in the viewer, but their effects on brain activity are not clearly understood. In this paper, we explore the relationships between brain activity and colour (cold/warm), light (dark/bright), movement (fast/slow), and balance (symmetrical/asymmetrical) VDEPs. We used the public DEAP dataset with the electroencephalogram signals of 32 participants recorded while watching music videos. The characteristic VDEPs for each second of the videos were manually tagged for by a team of two visual communication experts. Results show that variations in the light/value, rhythm/movement, and balance in the music video sequences produce a statistically significant effect over the mean absolute power of the Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma EEG bands (p < 0.05). Furthermore, we trained a Convolutional Neural Network that successfully predicts the VDEP of a video fragment solely by the EEG signal of the viewer with an accuracy ranging from 0.7447 for Colour VDEP to 0.9685 for Movement VDEP. Our work shows evidence that VDEPs affect brain activity in a variety of distinguishable ways and that a deep learning classifier can infer visual VDEP properties of the videos from EEG activity.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This study is based on the content analysis of the units on pre-historic periods of Cyprus History, Book 1 used in secondary schools between 2004 and 2009 and of Turkish Cypriot History, 6th Grade Books used for the secondary schools between 2009 and 2016. Mixed research methods, which compromises qualitative and quantitative research method, was used in this study. The qualitative part of the study includes the examination of the units on prehistoric ages in the textbooks according to criteria such as concepts, skills and visuals. In the quantitative part of the study, it has been consulted 67 teachers who are able to give a history lesson in secondary schools. According to the findings obtained from the study, it is possible to say that the opinions of the teachers with regard to the Cyprus History, Book I between 2004-2009 are more positive than 6th Grade Books of Cyprus History between 2009-2016. Additionally, it was seen that there were missing points in the units on pre-historic periods of the said course books in terms of concepts, skills and visuals. </p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Çalışmada 2004-2009 yılları arasında orta dereceli okullarda okutulan Kıbrıs Tarihi 1.
