Timeline for the history of music videos
Throughout the decade music videos have changed significantly and in a variety of ways from graphics to the quality of the sound and also music itself. During the 1960’s top of the pops was first brought onto the British television, however the music played on this program was music that was in the current charts. If the artist was unable to make the show the producers would then play a small clip the song for the nation to hear. Music videos first became rather popular in the 1980’s, the first popular music video was “ video killed the radio star” by The Buggles. These new music videos were new and exciting at the current time, and the whole concept of music videos then was to have a song accompanied by a skit-type or performance video. For example The Buggles music video was rather simple by just having the band on screen playing their instruments whilst their song was being played in the background. During the 1960’s The Beatles song ‘ Strawberry field” became rather famous due to the fact of that there were more effects were used during this video which only included a small element of performance with more narrative than singing. In todays culture, music videos have changed drastically. Throughout the mid 80’s, the majority of music videos still stuck to the performance variety, and sometimes included the odd special effect. Since the early 2000’s and up until today, the matter that music videos have almost changed completely. Whereas there are some videos that are still clinging onto the “ old school” genre which can been seen today on music networks which can come across as being strange to the older audiences.
-record labels used truly care about developing their artists
-today, most record labels give you one shot and want you to just have hit songs
-bands used to fit loosely into the genres
-now there's 30 sub-genres for each genre and most musicians don't normally cross-over (music has become very specific)
-before the internet, bands from small towns probably couldn't be found
-now that there's the internet, musicians can post audio and videos on sites such as YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook
Most inspirational music videos:
Why Do We Fall
Key quote: “Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour or a day, or even a year. But eventually it will subside, and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.”The Definition Of A Champion
Key quote: “At some time you’re going to face your fears or your match and it’s okay to fail. You know, it’s okay. But, in my opinion, the true failure is in avoiding the confrontation or the challenge.One Of The best
Key Quote: “If you've never failed, you've never lived.”- From this task I developed my knowledge on music videos and learnt about the history of where music videos began/came from. Furthermore, I now can differentiate older music videos to more modern music videos and can confidentially say what has changed/stayed the same.
