2. What is a M usic Vid eo?
• A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery,
produced for promotional or artistic purposes.[1] Modern music videos are
primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of
music recordings. Although the origins of music videos date back much further,
they came into prominence in the 1980s, when MTV based their format around
the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms
including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film",
"promotional clip" or "film clip". - Source: en.wikipedia.org
