Some History Facts on Videos
Music videos represent an important part of the music industry. Artists owe their careers to music videos as they are being given the risk of impressing the public not just with their vocal talent, but in addition with their looks or moves.
mtv - Thirty years ago, music video was once less important then it's nowadays. MTV (Music Television) was the phenomenon that gave a lot power and importance for the music video. MTV started broadcasting three decades ago in the USA and it marked the beginning of the music video's ruling within 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, videos were needed to be produced. Consequently, music video began to play an important role in artists' careers. It's considered that even Madonna's career has been greatly influenced by her videos that presented an alluring, appealing look of the artist. Some specialists say that Madonna has been inspired by the image that the actress Greta Garbo has utilized in her silent movies. MTV may 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 are already become more appreciated for his or her looks instead of their vocal abilities.
free online music - Nowadays, the background music video is as important as the song itself, sometimes even deciding the success of a song or artist. Collections of music videos are being sold on tapes or DVDs. Music video's greatest fans are apparently watching them muted just to enjoy their artistic value, because they consider it to be a new kind of art. They take into consideration that a music video should be assessed based on its visual qualities and never on the song quality. It seems that the music 'gurus', corporate managers, have realised the potential for using female sex-appeal in videos, therefore this feature has been used excessively since it is more popular for the public.
youtube music videos - The birth with the music video has established a new type of directors: video directors. MTV started even listing directors with video credits and this profession has become ever more popular. But it seems that most video directors don't specialise in this particular art form, they notice as being just a strike the way to directing a show. Many start directing videos or commercials, hoping to get the recognition to build a reputation and to direct a film. It seems that even video directors admit the truth that a music video is secondary towards the song itself.
In summary, although music video's fans have attemptedto elevate this form of entertainment towards the title of an art form, the music video is eventually only a work of commerce, determined to sell a product: the song.
