Famous directors• Listed in the credits for the first time, directors

such as Gondry and Romanek launch careers.• This was a major development in the history of music videos.

Thriller • A music video which I remember is Michael

Jackson’s ‘Thriller’.• Although it was released before my date of birth I

still recognize it as one of the most famous videos of all time. This is due too the word of mouth from people talking about the video.

• This shows how much of an impact the video had if people are still speaking about it years after its release date.

• The reason I remember this video is due to the ‘zombie like’ dance routine throughout the video and the trademark red leather jacket Michael Jackson wore.
