Task 1 - History of the Music Video

History of the Music Video

It has been important for me to study the history of the music video and see how videos have changed over time. I think it is important that my video looks very modern but I can take inspiration from key components that made some of the first music videos stand out and inspire others. I have learnt about how the rise of MTV pressured a vast improvement on music videos with more cinematic aspects. I think the online audience are creating a similarly competitive market via YouTube and VEVO. Artists such as Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry create risky and memorable videos to get a lot of views. In my planning and construction, I will have to think about how to stand out in such a competitive industry.
