Dialogue in music videos

Some music videos feature dialogue in some form to advance the story and set out a premise. However, to avoid the problem of speaking over the music, many music videos use subtitles to convey dialogue.

Some examples include:

Because our music video is about a couple reuniting, we felt that it would be appropriate to include dialogue between the two in some way. This may perhaps be included towards the end of the video, when the two main characters finally meet.

Another way of depicting dialogue would be through the use of on-screen text messages sent from the protagonists to each other.

This is an interpretation of dialogue which we will use more often than just subtitles. This is because the two characters are a distance away from each other throughout the video, so face-to-face dialogue is only possible in the last moments.
