Making Music Videos
The document summarizes the history of music videos from the 1930s to present day. It begins with early unofficial music videos in the 1930s-1940s and the development of the music video industry throughout key decades. Major developments include the introduction of MTV in the 1980s, which popularized music videos, as well as the online age of the 2000s-2010s, which changed how music and videos are produced and consumed. The document also provides tips for making music videos, such as choosing an unknown artist, writing a treatment, storyboarding, rehearsing, filming with different shots and angles, and editing to sync with the music.
Introducing the Music Video
Music videos are typically 3-5 minutes long clips created to promote a song. They often include quick cuts, stylization, and computer graphics. While originally aimed at youth audiences on MTV, music videos now target niche audiences on digital channels and websites. They have influenced popular culture but also rely on certain conventions like scantily clad dancers and macho rock stars. New forms of user generated content are transforming the genre.
The history of music videos
Music videos originated in the 1920s but became prominent in the 1980s with the launch of MTV. Early music videos in the 1970s focused on just showing the artist singing but evolved to include narratives and higher production values. Michael Jackson's "Thrilller" was a breakthrough that was almost like a mini movie. By the 1980s, music videos became vital for artist promotion and career success. Today, music videos often last 3-4 minutes and can be linear with a storyline or non-linear. They aim to match the rhythm and pacing of the video to the song.

Music videos are an important way for artists to promote themselves and their music. They allow artists to visually represent their song and story, gaining more exposure and fans. Videos posted to YouTube can reach a massive audience and help songs go viral. For example, PSY's "Gangnam Style" video received over 1 billion views and helped propel the song to international success. Music videos also provide additional revenue streams for artists and help promote films when used for movie soundtracks. Their widespread distribution allows artists to reach more potential fans and helps explain who they are as an artist.
Added Value
Music videos can help boost the success of songs by increasing views, publicity, sales and downloads. Sinead O'Connor's cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" became more successful than Prince's original version due to her iconic music video, which featured close-ups of her crying and walking in a garden in black clothing. The video won several awards despite its gloomy and repetitive nature. Similarly, A-ha's "Take On Me" gained popularity in the US and UK through its innovative music video featuring animated sequences, which was groundbreaking at the time and helped expose the song on MTV.

Over time, R&B music video styles transformed from performance-based in the 1980s to more narrative-focused in the 1990s to conceptual videos in the 2000s.

Foo fighters
The Foo Fighters music video for "Everlong" features an unusual storyline that does not directly relate to the song's lyrics. The director, Michael Gondry, known for using repetition in his videos, employs this technique by showing the character repeatedly waking up to answer the phone. While the Foo Fighters' music typically features them playing on stage, this video departs from rock music conventions through its irrelevant narrative. The band appeals to a wide audience range through the video's comedic elements rather than a strictly hard rock sound.
Serj tankian
This video analysis summarizes Serj Tankian's "Empty Walls" music video in three sentences:
The video uses children acting out war in a comedic way to represent how war is meaningless, keeping pace with the anti-war lyrics through its imagery and synchronization with the music. It was directed by Tony Petrossian, who is known for stylistic techniques like close-ups and slowed down shots that suit Serj Tankian's more mature musical themes. The target audience is older teenagers and young adults who would understand the deeper anti-war message rather than just seeing the childish imagery.

- 1. Steve Barron •Born: May 4th 1956 •Nationality: Irish •Career: Director and Producer •First directed music video: 1979, “Strange Town” – The Jam •Most recent: July 2010, “Butterfly Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)” – A-ha •Other work: Feature Films, e.g. The Adventures Of Pinocchio •Recurring bands: Toto, The Culture Club, A-ha and Bryan Adams. • Most popular video: “Take On Me” – A-ha
- 2. The genre of the director • The genre of music that Steve Barron works with is mainly soft/hard/alternative rock. • The most recurring musicians that I noticed were, The Culture Club, Bryan Adams, Toto and A-ha. All of which are classed as these genres. • Each of these bands are also world famous, each said to be the start of new genres and eras of music, so for a director of the music videos for them, a lot of pressure was placed upon him to make videos as original or powerful as the music and musicians themselves. • As well as having to live up to new eras in music, he also had to create something special for the hit single “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson. Not only must the video live up to expectations from that of Michael Jackson, but also be successful enough to help the single reach its fame.
- 3. Recurring themes • Recurring themes for a music video director tend to be subtle within the videos. Things such as editing techniques, colours and styles are usually what can be noticed about a director. • For Steve Barron, the recurring themes that I picked up on were the use of colour. Each and almost all of his music videos (excluding “butterfly butterfly” by A-ha) have a sort of brown gradient to them. This may be because his music video are mainly 80’s and 90’s music videos, and/or this was the “in” thing to have, or because it is one of his techniques. Steve Barron Other Don’t you want me – The Human League Never gonna give you up – Rick Astley Billie Jean – Michael Jackson Bad – Michael Jackson Take on me – A-ha Rio – Duran Duran
- 4. Recurring themes • Another recurring theme that I picked up on, was the use of love story narratives in most of his music video (Summer of 69, Africa, Take on me). However, these may not be important as the songs themselves talk of love. • It can almost be said that the music videos are more movie based as they have a heavy narrative within them. This could explain the change from music video director to movie director in the 90’s, as his music videos weren’t long enough for Steve Barron to make the story he wants. However. The videos remain a success and were good enough to ass off as a film themselves, though very short. Bryan Adams – Summer of 69 Kenny Loggins – Heart to Heart
- 5. Recurring themes… • The final theme that I noticed with Steve Barron’s work is originality. Though this can hardly be stated as a theme, I think that it is something that is very important to point out with this director. The reason for this being is because his music videos are very early in introduction of the music videos. Without any past videos to take inspiration from, these videos are a real display of his ideas and creations that he had. Good examples of his originality is A-ha – Take on me and Toto – Africa. Michael Jacksons Billie Jean as well is said to be a revolutionary music video as it started off the life of MTV. Toto – Africa A-ha – Take on Me
- 6. In conclusion… From looking at Steve Barron’s work, it is clear to see that he was the beginning of a new era for music. At the start of his music video career in 1979, he was one of the first in the business so it was something different, but he managed to make something new of it all. Moving away from the usual codes and conventions that were set back the to set some new ones himself. He did this by adding narrative to his videos and making the more movie like, appealing to a wider audience ad making music more mainstream on the television. Steve Barron did well in the music video business as he had no influences from previous videos, but used his imagination to use films as an influence. This could be why his career ended as a music video director, and moved onto feature length films.
