The history of music videos

 

 

 

I found this task to be very useful as it helped me gain a better understanding of the history of music videos. This task also helped me to increase my knowledge of how music videos began and how they have developed through time with the advances of high-quality technology. For example, in 1967 a series of techniques including reversed film, slow motion, dramatic lighting and a range of unusual camera angles was used for the Beatles video clips in 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane'.  I also found it  interesting when exploring the different artists who made an impact in the music industry. The Buggles are a prime example of this being the first band to present their music video on the American video channel 'MTV'. Other stars include Michael Jackson and Madonna who were both shown to have two of the most expensive music videos in history.  I believe this task has helped me expand my knowledge which will hopefully help in the future whilst carrying out my research. I also created a timeline featuring key events relating to the history of music videos.   To see an enlarged version click the centre of the image.
