The introduction of dedicated music channels in the 1980s like MTV expanded platforms for viewing music videos and cemented their role in music marketing, though producing high quality videos became more expensive and required greater resources.
Music videos began in the 1920s-1930s as short films promoting songs from musicals. In the 1960s, bands like the Beatles popularized music videos featuring both narrative scenes and live performances. The development of new recording and editing technologies in the 1970s-1980s allowed artists to produce promotional videos more cheaply and helped boost song sales. The launch of MTV in 1981 dedicated entirely to music videos greatly increased their popularity and influence, with many artists owing their success to the network. Today, music videos remain an important way for artists to promote new songs, though they now often feature more provocative imagery and are widely shared online through websites like YouTube.
Music videos have evolved from early promotional shorts in the 1930s-1950s to become a key marketing tool for the music industry today. The first music video channel, MTV, launched in 1981 and helped propel the careers of many artists through heavy rotation of their music videos. While MTV remains influential, online downloading of music videos now also promotes artists and threatens MTV's dominance. A typical £9 CD allocates much of the cost to marketing, promotion and music videos rather than payments to the artist.

The music video for Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" uses visuals that relate to the music and lyrics. Scenes of Caribbean dancers match the bongo and steel drum beat in the background. As the song picks up tempo, Lionel Richie and the crowd start dancing. During the lyrics "all my friends" he gestures to the crowd, and when singing "raise the roof" a dancer rises up with the lyrics. The video focuses on close ups of Lionel Richie, contrasting him with others in shadow, and shows an extreme close up of him dancing with another person. The video does not include any voyeurism of women or intertextual references.
Scene 1 will include overlapping timelapses of a dying rose, the sun rising and setting, and a forming storm between 0-29 seconds to represent the toxic and negative elements of the song.
Scenes 2-3 will feature Lewis lip syncing the lyrics in various locations like Crowland and walking in slow motion.
Scene 4, during the chorus, will show Lewis lip syncing with different camera angles and walking through a small village where people stare at him. It will include repeating timelapses of a forming storm.
Scenes 5-6 will show Lewis walking and lip syncing as the song's narrative mentions breaking into an abandoned house, where zombies will spot Lewis in the garden.
This document analyzes and summarizes three music videos:

3) Bring Me The Horizon - "Shadow Moses." This video uses a unique effect where the camera quickly switches between left and right shots,

The document also notes that there is often a disconnect between the anticipated usefulness of an object and how long it actually exists. It provides examples of design that incorporates pre-existing objects, such as a bird feeder made from a dinner plate, and questions how sustainable such an approach is.

2. What is a music video?
A music video is a short film or video that accompanies a
complete piece of music, most commonly a song. Their
usual purpose, especially for more modern videos, are for
the promotion of bands and artists intended to the promote
the sale of music recordings.
3. Promotion
They are often called music ‘promos’ and most usually
come in the form of a package, usually with an
accompanying advert. In the 1980s the term ‘rock video’
was penned to describe this form of entertainment
although the usage has fallen considerably out of use.
In 1940, Walt Disney released the film ‘Fantasia’ which is a
short film surrounding different pieces of classical music.
This could be described as a music video as it follows the
same principles, although the way we see music videos
today is marginally different.
4. Musical Innovation
The key to such music videos becoming a more prominent use of
marketing and a general success (more than previously upheld) is
due to the advancement of video and editing processes along with
the development of special effects.
This development however has seen the making of a music video rise
in cost and price and requires many more heads than previously
thought. To make a successful music video for marketing requires
money and it is therefore only the most well-known and successful
bands that we will see with this factor.
By the 80s almost every single was accompanied with a music video
and soon it became a much more mandatory expectation.
5. Top of the Pops
The introduction of this programme in the early 70s created
a whole new platform for music and the promotion of
music videos. Bands were able to perform live, promoting
their single, and thus generating a buzz around the song
itself. People now wanted music videos to be created. This
was then further fuelled by the introduction of music-
dedicated channels such as MTV, Kerrang! and VH1. the
platforms for watching music videos were forever
expanding
6. First music video
Queen are credited with the first ever music video
although I expect there are much earlier, overlooked
constructions. Their video for Bohemian Rhapsody
became a sensation.
Similarly, the music videos of today have generated
such a fan base that they are hard to ignore. Michael
Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ was voted the best music video of
all time.
