This document provides a history of music videos from their origins in the 1920s to the present day. It describes how early "talkies" and musical films helped develop the genre. Promotional clips became common in the 1950s and 1960s to promote singles. The launch of MTV in 1981 mainstream popularized music videos and new technologies in the 1980s-1990s helped establish music videos as an art form. More recently, the rise of video sharing on the internet has impacted music video viewing and promotion.
Music videos originated in the 1950s as short films made to promote songs and artists. Early examples included Tony Bennett walking in a park to his song and animated cartoons set to music. The Beatles helped establish the music video genre with clips filmed for their songs and movies in the 1960s. The development of video recording technology in the 1970s allowed many artists to produce low-cost promotional videos. The launch of MTV in 1981 was a major catalyst for the music video industry, greatly increasing viewership and production values. Today, high-budget music videos are a standard part of the music marketing process.
1) A music video is a short film that accompanies a song and can take the form of a narrative, concept, or performance video.
2) The Beatles are considered by some to have produced the first modern music videos in 1964 with short films promoting their songs.
3) In 1981, MTV was launched as the first 24-hour music channel and helped establish the popularity of music videos by playing them alongside songs.
4) The 1990s saw music video directors like Mark Romanek and Michael Gondry gain recognition for their work, with Romanek directing the most expensive video ever, Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream."
The history of music videos began in 1894 with the illustrated song "Lost Little Child" featuring still images projected in time with the music. In the 1920s, musical short films called "talkies" became popular, featuring performers singing and dancing on screen. Television increased the popularity of music in the 1950s, allowing artists like Elvis Presley to create early music videos. The launch of MTV in 1981 meant around-the-clock music video broadcasts became central to musical marketing. Modern music videos truly began with The Beatles films of the 1960s, setting standards for promotional videos. Today, websites like YouTube have made music videos accessible anytime, increasing artists' global fanbases.
Music videos have evolved significantly over time, starting as early musical films in the 1930s and progressing to short promotional clips by The Beatles in the 1960s. The launch of MTV in 1981 dedicated solely to music videos was pivotal, creating stars like Duran Duran and Madonna. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video in 1983 was hugely influential as it blended music and filmmaking. Modern videos now have almost cinematic qualities and can cost millions, serving as a tool to generate interest in artists through visual controversy and creativity.
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 document discusses how music has influenced fashion trends in Britain from the 1940s to the 1990s:
- In the 1940s, fashion was conservative but dances like the boogie-woogie emerged from fast wartime music. Rock and roll in the 1950s, pioneered by Elvis Presley, influenced teenagers' rebellious styles.
- The 1960s saw a shift towards bizarre, individual styles inspired by bands like the Beatles during a period of social change.
- World music influences in the 1970s led to exotic and politically inspired fashion.
- The 1980s saw the rise of hip hop and urban fashion, as well as styles drawn from artists like Michael Jackson.
The document summarizes feedback gathered from interviews with members of the target audience, ranging from ages 18 to 40+, regarding several texts and a video. The interviews were recorded and analyzed. The feedback showed that the recurring themes across the texts helped create branding identification. While the monochrome theme supported the dark, gritty concept, opinions differed on whether the focus was more on the artist or the music.
The combination of the main product (music video) and ancillary texts (digipack and advert) was effective because it created a cohesive brand through the use of shared imagery. Specific images from the music video, like the couple walking away and the microphone on the floor, were also used in the digipack and advert to link the materials together. These repeated images would help the audience instantly recognize the band and remember them by triggering associations with the images. The document analyzes how the use of these images aligned with research on branding techniques common in the punk rock genre.
