A music video is a short film that accompanies a song, featuring the artist and visually representing the music. While they can tell stories, music videos primarily aim to be memorable and worth repeated viewing. The study session will provide an overview of the origins and evolution of music videos from early experimental films to modern formats and discuss analyzing, pitching, and producing music videos.
