1. Research in to the Music Industry
How are music videos made?
They are made by filming a band or singer with a camera. They usually take lots of separate shots (or
in some cases they film one continuous shot) and then they put them together using an editing
programme such as garage band or premier pro. They can be edited on these programmes to change
how the video will look and sounds so for example by putting more shots in to the video.
What are the main companies that show music videos?
The main company that promotes and shows music videos is YouTube. Whenever a new musician or
band create a new video is goes straight on to YouTube as it’s a great sight to promote your new
stuff. Another website musicians like to use is VEVO, a lot of bands and musicians tend to have an
official VEVO along with a YouTube channel.
Where is the usual place you can find music videos?
The main place on the internet is Youtube where you can browse and view videos for no price. But if
you want to actually purchase a copy yourself then the best place to find them is the iTunes website.
Although it does restrict slightly from having any other phones and tablets than ones made by apple
it definitely is the best place to find the videos.
What is the purpose of music videos?
I think the one of the main purposes of videos Is that it’s a way of music companies to promote their
artists. As well as this it generates profit as you can buy the video with the song on separately to just
the song on its own. The other main purpose of a music video is to entertain the bands audience also
to intrigue them by making interesting storylines in the video.
