Music videos originated as promotional materials for songs but became a major marketing force in the 1980s with the launch of MTV. Early music videos experimented with different styles but often did not literally illustrate the song lyrics. As the medium grew in popularity, many controversial music videos were banned by MTV or other channels due to sexually explicit or violent content, including videos by Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Garth Brooks among others. Debate over censorship of music videos has continued into the modern era with videos by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and others facing restrictions at times for pushing boundaries.
Music videos have faced censorship over the years due to offensive content. In the 1980s, videos by Queen, Duran Duran, and others were banned for depicting sexuality. The 1990s saw bans of Michael Jackson and Madonna videos. New directors in the 1990s elevated music videos to an art form. The rise of the internet and sites like YouTube made music videos widely accessible online, helping artists promote their music.
The document discusses regulations of music videos in the UK by the BBFC. It examines several case studies of music videos that caused controversy, such as Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" which was banned from some universities for promoting an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent.

Overall, the document finds that as music videos have become more popular and explicit, regulation has been needed to restrict content like graphic violence, sexual imagery, and offensive material that could affect viewers.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, released in 1983, was hugely successful and influential, setting new standards with its large budget.

Top 10 Music Videos That Influenced The IndustryErin008011
The document discusses several influential music videos throughout history and provides details about each. It analyzes how the videos impacted and changed the music industry.

MTV launched on August 1st, 1981 and originally focused on playing music videos hosted by VJs.

This included popular shows like The Real World in the 1990s and The Osbournes, Punk'd, and Pimp My Ride in the 2000s. By the late 2000s, MTV was only playing around 3 hours of music videos per day and had transformed into more of a general entertainment channel focused on reality television.
Music videos are regulated by different organizations depending on how they are distributed. YouTube decides if a video is suitable to be uploaded to an artist's official channel, though it can still be uploaded by others. OFCOM regulates what is broadcast on TV in the UK according to the 2003 Communications Act. MTV chooses which videos to air on its channels and tries to avoid those that may prompt complaints. As technology changes, regulations may become stricter for some content online and on TV, though enforcing restrictions online is difficult when children can access the internet through other means. Some examples of banned music videos include Rihanna's "S&M" for its sexual content, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" original explicit version,

Music videos continued advancing through the 1990s with more artistic directors emerging. Today, websites like YouTube have profoundly changed music video viewing and distribution.
Music videos first emerged on British TV in the late 1970s but gained widespread popularity with the 1981 launch of MTV in the US. Important early videos included Pink Floyd's "The Wall" for its political messaging and Michael Jackson's groundbreaking "Thriller" video. Directors like Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry helped establish music videos as an art form in the 1990s. With the rise of YouTube in the 2000s, viewing and sharing of music videos moved largely online, influencing artists' careers. Today, online streaming is the primary way music videos reach audiences.
Michael Jackson was known as the "King of Pop" but was also pioneering in the music video genre. His early videos with the Jackson 5 lacked sophistication but videos for songs like "Rock With You" and "Billie Jean" told stories through carefully planned shots, lighting, and choreography. His "Thriller" video, costing $500,000, became the best-selling music video ever with its elaborate extended version and cultural impact. As technology advanced, Jackson's videos grew more sophisticated, using their visuals and choreography to spread messages of unity and social issues.
Music videos began in the 1920s with short films accompanying songs. In the 1970s, MTV was launched and aired "Video Killed the Radio Star", popularizing the music video format. Directors became prominent in the 1990s, bringing high production values. Today, YouTube allows artists to self-publish videos, and visual appeal may be prioritized over music quality for some artists seeking online success.
Music videos first emerged in the 1920s-1940s as short films that accompanied hit songs or were spliced together into feature films. In the 1950s-1960s, artists like Elvis Presley and The Beatles began releasing musical films and promotional clips to promote their music without touring. Michael Jackson helped establish the modern music video format in the 1980s with elaborate, short film-style videos for songs like "Billie Jean" and "Thriller". By the 1990s and 2000s, MTV had largely shifted from music videos to reality television, while user-generated sites like YouTube facilitated the spread of music videos online, leading some artists to find success through viral videos.
Michael Jackson - Beat It Seminal Video AnalysisOwen Raccani
The music video for Michael Jackson's "Beat It" is set in a run-down diner and depicts gang members wearing stereotypical 1980s gangster clothing. Throughout the video, more gang members are shown gathering until a dance/knife battle between the gangs occurs at the end. The camerawork captures the characters and large fight scene from different angles. While simplistic, the editing keeps viewers engaged without distraction. The video represents urban youth as troublesome gang members and Jackson as a talented dancer who encounters this unfamiliar world.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Some Music videos which have
been banned or censored

M.I.A
2010
Just Lose It
Eminem
2004
Low
Foo Fighters
2002
What It Feels Like For A Girl
Madonna
2000
Dead End Street
The Kinks
1994
3. Dead End Street- The Kinks
Why was this video controversial?
One of the early music videos created by the Kinks in 1966, depicted the bands
members as ‘top hat-wearing pallbearers’ and this was deemed as tasteless by the
BBC (even though the ‘corpse’ jumped out of the coffin alive and well) this resulted
in the BBC banning its first pop video
Why was it censored?
Quoted from Ray Davis: Not Like Everyone Else
“Unfortunately, after its screening, this remarkable three-and-one-half-minute film was banned by the BBC for being
distasteful. With minimal controversy, the BBC could allude to the darkly humorous treatment of widows,
pallbearers, coffins, and corpses. Perhaps, however, Davies surmised the true reason for the ban: “It showed slums and
poverty and so they wouldn’t run it. I guess they prefer films about running around in parks, jumping over chairs.”
It is therefore debatable what the real reason for the censorship was
however it is presented that it was because of its ‘distasteful’ themes and
dark topics such as the pallbearers, coffins and corpses.
4. Girls On Film- Duran Duran
Why was this video controversial?
Even though MTV wanted ‘to appear hip and edgy’ according to the article in Rolling Stones
Magazines about 10 Banned Music Videos, they ended up not airing and including “the racy
mud-wrestling scene in this 1981 video”. Finally, a edited version was made which featured
half the footage and none of the boobs which were originally featured made the cut.
However the band used this and ‘capitalised on the controversy’
Why was it censored?
The raunchy video created an uproar and it was eventually banned by the BBC and before it
ran on MTV originally, it was heavily edited.
Moments leading to the censorship of the video:
- “A petite female Sumo wrestler mounts the catwalk to confront heavyset male Sumo
wrestler. The woman is wearing a sheer top and a mawashi loincloth; the camera follows
her as she enters, offering a generous, fetishistic view of her partially exposed buttocks”
- “A brunette model removes her fur coat to reveal her breasts and skin-tight see-through
plastic knickers underneath”
5. Killed By Death- By Motorhead
Why was this video controversial?
This video illustrated “excessive and senseless violence” which included a scene of
the lead singer Lemmy Kilminster ‘zapped in an electric chair” which resulted in MTV
sentencing “this metal video to death by obscurity”. To make matters worse, the band
had “two female executives deliver the video to MTV while dressed in chains and biker
gear” which didn’t at all help the video get on air.
Why was this video censored?
Because of the ‘excessive and senseless violence’ which was not appropriate for
audiences and the way the band presented itself and the video.
6. This Note’s For You- Neil Young
Why was this video controversial?
This satirical video pointed out ‘big-money TV sponsors”. Some of these
included Coke, Pepsi and Budweiser.
Why did they censor it?
MTV decided to ban the video in 1988 because of the singling out of the
sponsors however this resulted in the ‘uncool impression’ that MTV did not
want to support corporate sponsors. Even though the video was ‘reinstated’
and was able to win the Video of the Year, it made a lot of damage to MTV .
In addition to this, Micheal Jackson sent MTV legal threats because of
representations of him in the music video.
7. The Thunder Rolls- Garth
Brooks
Why was this video controversial?
Brooks presented himself as ‘a cheating husband with bad hair and an even
worse temper” in the 1991 video which was eventually banned by the
Nashville Network and Country Music Television. This video was controversial
because of its depiction of domestic violence
Why was it censored?
A CMT representative commented the network was "in business to entertain,
not to promote or condone gratuitous violence or social issues.“ The Nashville
Network therefore wanted ‘Brooks to add a spoken message explaining the
violent subject matter” however he refused and said it would appear that he
was trying to make money of spousal abuse
8. What It Feels Like For A Girl-
Madonna
Why was this video controversial?
Madonna’s partner and ‘slick filmmaker’ Guy Ritchie produced the 2001
video which featured Madonna (the “Vogue” girl) living on the edge. The
video was controversial because it included ‘a fictional crime spree that ends
with a suicidal bang’ and was overall too violent and graphic.
Why was this video censored?
Madonna had other videos such as “Justify My Love” and “Erotica” as well
as the recent “Girl Gone Wild” banned or limited for its saucy content. For
the video “What It Feels Like For A Girl” MTV and VH1 didn’t approve of it
because of the fictional crime which ended in suicide. There is a argument
that the video was banned off MTV because there was a scene which
included Madonna pointing a gun towards the police and MTV had banned
previous music videos which had guns. Miller explained that "while Madonna
is one of MTV's darlings, she's still a woman, and the idea of a woman taking
her aggressions out on men is something the network can just not have
9. Low- Foo Fighters
Why was this video controversial?
The music video included scenes with sex toys which Dave Grohl
said he spent six hours of film shooting with actor Jack Black.
There were also scenes of Jack Black taking a dump and
vomiting and Dave Grohl fondling himself and finally ‘a cross-
dressed spanking’
Why was this video censored?
The scenes with the sex toys were eventually edited out because
of discretion. However MTV still deemed the 2003 video
unsuitable for all ages because of this kind of content
10. Just Lose It- Eminem
Why was this video controversial?
Michael Jackson personally called Eminem’s representation of him in this
video “inappropriate and disrespectful”. The video was portrayed as
controversial because there was ‘one point depicted a noseless
Jackson on a bed full of children. Other scenes included ‘Pee-Wee
Herman, Vanilla Ice and Madonna are also lampooned”. Furthermore
“The music video for "Just Lose It" generated controversy by parodying
singer Michael Jackson's child molestation trial, plastic surgery and an
incident in which Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi
commercial in 1984”.
Why was this video censored?
Because of the inappropriate behaviour and representation Eminem
illustrated of Michal Jackson. Furthermore, the timing was worse for
Jackson, who at the time was battling child molestation charges and
Jackson had many supporters such as Stevie Wonder who disagreed
that the music video was out of order.
11. Born Free- M.I.A
Why was this video controversial?
Scenes from this video included one young male getting shot in the head
and another blown to pieces in the shocking video ‘depiciting redhead
genocide’. Since this video appeared on YouTube, it encouraged
thousands to debate racism.
Why was it censored?
Disturbing scenes such as the ones mentioned above. Additionally, the
violence and nudity (that paled by comparison) prompted YouTube to ban
the video. There was too much graphic content which depicted political
censorship. On 27 April, the BBC reported that the video was being
removed in some instances by YouTube, and labelled with an age-
restriction in others
12. Blurred Lines- Robin Thickle
Why was this video controversial?
Even though Thicke’s wife gave him permission to shoot surrounded by
topless models, the 2013 video was controversial because of scenes
such as the one with the helium balloons spelling ‘Robin Thicke has a big
dick’. Furthermore, the lyrics of the song and the way he objectified
women for his pleasure in the video is also a controversial issue. Overall,
it was felt “the song and the music video trivialize sexual consent” and it
promoted rape culture because of the title. It was felt that it was sexist
towards the female race.
Why was this censored?
YouTube felt the video was not appropriate because of the naked women
who were arguably presented as ‘sexual passive objects’ and were
trivialised, however it was then edited so the women were fully dressed
and it ‘quickly surpassed a million views after its Vevo debut’
13. Reasons Why Music Videos Keep
Getting Censored Or Are Controversial
Objectifying Women:
This issue was even demonstrated as early as
the 1900s, there is a sexism issue that women
are illustrated as ‘pleasures’ rather than an
independent being. This is even presented at
now, in the 2013 Blurred Lines video.
Violence:
Too much ‘uneeded’ and ‘excessive’ violence seems to be
another common occurrence. If a video is seen as something
which will promote violence among its viewers, it is seen as
controversial or having the right to be censored. This clearly
happened in M.I.A’s music video which was arguably showing the
idea of racism and heavy violence against a certain race
Parody Issues:
Celebrities such as Michael Jackson have faced this in a
number of videos e.g. Just Lose it. The celebrities can
pose legal threats to the company airing the video which
is another reason videos are censored. Furthermore,
they are controversial as people may not agree to the
way the celebrity is being represented and deem it as
unfair and inappropriate
Sexual Content:
This is shown very early in music videos. From Madonna
to Robin Thickle’s video, the demonstration of too much
sexual content needs to be age restricted, so children
who are young do not feel this is a trivial lifestyle. Many
videos are censored mainly because of this reason, too
much sexual content is deemed inappropriate
These are the issues which still seem to be a common occurrence in today’s music videos…
