The Use of Dialogue in Music Videos

I would like to draw attention to the use of dialogue in music videos in an act of justifying why I have chosen to use the same technique with my video.
I have researched that dialogue used is in narrative based music videos predominately; this is because what is said can add an extra layer to the context that is being shown. The elongated shot lengths and focus on a specific action alters the music video towards a short film therefore creating a bigger opportunity to attract an audience as the institution crosses boundaries.
An extreme example of this is Lady GaGa's 'long version' of Telephone; a 9 minute production that incorporates dialogue without music at the start of the video and also cutting in the middle. Due to the length of this music video, it is only available to watch on-line, so I understand that any dialogue that I include will have to be condensed so the music video would be of suitable length for TV viewing.

Kanye West is an artist who has taken this idea of a short film to an extra level and has produced a 30 minute video. These increasing trends to create bigger music video productions show the desire for mainstream artists to become even bigger by converging institutions and increasing their talents outside of music recording. Despite of this large step taken by West, a music video involving dialogue and has been condensed is 'Touch the Sky'. The dialogue cuts in-between the music, starting at 2.25 and ending at 3.08. This would be the correct length for a music channel such as MTV to broadcast; because of this I would consider my dialogue to be within the 30 second barrier.
