A music video is a video accompanied by music,the intention of music videos are to promote and advertise a bands music. A music video helps people understand the meaning of the song, it gives them the chance to relate to the song.
The first music video was made in the 1980's, the first music video was a bunch of still images put together with music, this method is still used today. MTV took control of music videos, they showed how important they are to the music industry. The first video that MTV showed was 'Video killed the radio star' by the Buggles, when this was shown people saw it as a new era for the music indstry as people could show what the band was other then music. Some people saw the start of music videos as a bad thing, they believed that people would be appreciated for there looks instead of their talent.
Music videos for bands are very importnat, it gives them the chance to show off, bands can use them to show people what there really about, for example a band like JLS use there music videos to show off there dancing skills were as you have a band like the wombats who use it just to show them playing there music. there are many different types of music videos, you can have ones that tell a story e.g. a love story, a robbery or a murder, another type is live performance, this is where the music video is just of the band playing there instraments, other types of videos can be of dance routens or just randomness. A good music video that shows vocal abilities and gives the band a chance to show off is Ok go with 'Here it goes' The video shows great creativity.
