The document traces the evolution of music videos over several decades from the 1960s to 2000s. Early videos from the 1960s and 1970s featured artists genuinely performing as the songs were recorded, with live footage captured in studios and on rooftops. Videos from the 1980s began incorporating more direction and props. By the 1990s and 2000s, music videos had become fully choreographed productions telling visual stories through a variety of shots with increasingly sophisticated costumes and cinematography reflecting changing fashion trends and technology.
