Some History Facts on Videos

Music videos represent a crucial part of the music industry. Artists owe their careers to videos as they are being given the possibility of impressing the public not just making use of their vocal talent, but also with their looks or moves.

free music videos - Three decades ago, music video used to be less important then its nowadays. MTV (Music Television) was the phenomenon that gave a great deal power and importance for the music video. MTV started broadcasting in 1981 in the USA and it marked the beginning of the music video's ruling over the music industry. The first video ever played on MTV was 'Video Killed the air Star' by The Buggles. As MTV was broadcasting 24-hour-a-day music, music videos were needed to be produced. Consequently, music video began to play an important role in artists' careers. It really is considered that even Madonna's career has been greatly influenced by her videos that presented an attractive, appealing look of the artist. Some experts say that Madonna has been inspired by the image that the actress Greta Garbo provides in her silent movies. MTV continues to be highly controversial: some saw as the beginning of an amazing, new, fresh era in music, others considered it to mark no more true musical talent, as artists have been become more appreciated for their looks instead of their vocal abilities.

playlist - Nowadays, the music activity video is as essential as the song itself, sometimes even deciding the success of a song or artist. Collections of videos are being sold on tapes or DVDs. Music video's greatest fans are apparently watching them muted just to enjoy their artistic value, as they consider it to be a new kind of art. They consider that a music video needs to be assessed based on its visual qualities and not on the song quality. It would appear that the music 'gurus', corporate managers, have realised the potential of using female sex-appeal in videos, therefore this feature has been used excessively because it is more popular for the public.

musica - The birth with the music video has created a new type of directors: video directors. MTV started even listing directors with video credits and also this profession has become ever more popular. But it seems that most video directors don't focus on this particular art form, they see it as being just a step on the way to directing a show. Many start directing videos or commercials, hunting the recognition to build a reputation and to direct a movie. It seems that even video directors admit the fact that a music video is secondary for the song itself.

In conclusion, although music video's fans have attempted to elevate this form of entertainment towards the title of an art, the music video is eventually only a work of commerce, going to sell a product: the song.
