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 in addition with their looks or moves.
pandora - 30 years ago, music video used to be less important then it's nowadays. MTV (Music Television) was the phenomenon that gave a great deal power and importance to the music video. MTV started broadcasting three decades ago 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 radio stations Star' by The Buggles. As MTV was broadcasting 24-hour-a-day music, music videos were needed to be produced. Consequently, music video started to play an important role in artists' careers. It really is considered that even Madonna's career may be greatly influenced by her videos that presented an attractive, appealing look of the artist. Some professionals state that Madonna has been inspired through the image that the actress Greta Garbo has used in her silent movies. MTV has been highly controversial: some saw as the beginning of an amazing, new, fresh era in music, others considered it to mark get rid of true musical talent, as artists happen to be become more appreciated for his or her looks instead of their vocal abilities.
youtube music - Nowadays, the music video is as essential as the song itself, often 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 in order to enjoy their artistic value, because they consider it to be a new form 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 would appear that the music 'gurus', corporate managers, have realised the potential of using female sex-appeal in music videos, therefore this feature has been used excessively as it is more popular for the public.
stream music - The birth from the music video has generated a new type of directors: video directors. MTV started even listing directors with video credits and this profession has become increasingly popular. But it seems that most video directors don't specialise in this particular art form, they see it as being just a step on the way to directing a film. Many start directing videos or commercials, hunting the recognition to build an identity and to direct a show. It seems that even video directors admit the truth that a music video is secondary to the song itself.
To conclude, although music video's fans have attemptedto elevate this form of entertainment towards the title of an talent, the music video is eventually merely a work of commerce, destined to sell a product: the song.
