A HISTORY OF MUSIC VIDEOS
WHAT IS A MUSIC VIDEO?
• A music video accompanies the artists track as a visual representation of the song
• In more recent times, music videos have been a way to promote the artist and create interest and advertising for their music
THE FIRST MUSIC VIDEO
• The very first music video aired on MTV in 1979, Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles
MUSIC VIDEOS BECOMING STANDARDISED
• By the 1980s, creating a music video to accompany your song became the standard thing to do
• Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen began an era of artists using music videos to promote themselves
MODERNISATION OF MUSIC VIDEO
• Music videos now depend on the success of the song, if the single is released then usually a music video is released also
• Most music videos now are watched for their content and so the audience can see what they are like, not so that they can listen to the song
• For lots of modern artists, the build up from the single release to the music video release is crucial and makes the video even more popular
