A music video is in theory a short film that compliments and is attached to a piece of music. Modern day music videos are primarily made for the purpose of marketing, promoting both the band and the sale of their music records. Although the origins of music videos go back much further, they came to the public eye at a more advanced and available level in the 1980s, when MTV based their televised format around the medium of the music video. In China, music videos are simply known as MTV's because the network was responsible for bringing music videos to popularity in that country. Music videos are nowadays one of the most important aspects when attempting to become a successful band, if the image and the video are right then the rest will follow. Because of this, bands are now spending huge amounts on their videos, paying in famous actors and well known directors to help push their band to the next level in visual format. In this blog, I will look to discuss the conventions and forms of a music video in today’s age, analyze successful existing music videos by a variety of different bands across different genres, and ultimately create my own music video for a popular song of my choosing.
I hope you find to blog an interest and that you can enjoy my finished product.
Thank you for visiting.
