Scopitone videos:
Bright colors on the set and costumes
Colors look washed out on video
People dancing, woman show a lot of skin...
“flashes” and “scratches” on frames
Long takes, not many close ups
Modern Videos:
Animation: Boom Boom Pow
Clubs
Clear pictures and colors
Short takes, different angles and locations
Lots of close ups
I was surprised how similar the Scopitone Videos are to todays videos. Obviously they have many differences, but a few things stuck around: singers in different locations, women using their sexuality/showing skin, dancing, branding (representing their "look" or "type")
