Redundancy is something that is predictable in a message, and it can either have a high redundancy or a low redundancy. For example an image of two police man is highly redundant as there is nothing unexpected about it. Redundancy is necessary in order to make effective communications with people.
Entropy is something that is unpredictable, and it tends to make an image more interesting. If a text is entropic then it contains unpredictable elements. Like redundancy you can also have a high entropic message or a low entropic message.
I would say that this music video is slightly more redundant then it is entropic. The reason why I think this is because the video is of people dancing like the song title suggests which isn't unpredictable at all. I also think that it is a bit of entropic because the main singer hasn't got a top on and some of the changes between colour and black and white makes it more interesting to the viewer.
