This document provides a history of music videos from their origins to modern times. It discusses how the first music video was produced in 1894 to promote a song. Music videos grew more popular with the launch of MTV in 1981, which was the first 24-hour music television channel and played the first music video "Music Killed the Radio Star". The production of music videos has since evolved with new technologies, allowing for enhanced special effects, cinematography styles, and narrative concepts in modern videos.
