In chapter 7 the discussion of realism is very in-depth from questioning reality to its accessibility. When watching a music video there is a sense of being granted a reality when watching; for example, the music video with U2 and the act of moving with the video. This entraps you to go into a trance with the music and feel the music at that moment. Where as television takes on the role of a staged performance; because music videos are similar to that of advertising and video art, advertising thus takes the position of realism rather than live television.
There is also the issue of concepts and as stated in the book, "if you do not know the meaning of a concept that concept is improperly formed." The concept of music video is easier to grasp because of its portrayal of realism thus allowing the audience to understand the meaning. So, there it is granted to music videos that the easier it is to understand a concept the quicker one can obtain the concept, and justify realism.
