2. Music videos were created in order
to let the artists be more creative
with their music and allow the fans
to understand the song lyrics and
involve themselves in the music
more.
The first pop video to be created
was ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by
Queen released in 1975. It was
known as a promotional video,
after the creation of this one it
became common for songs to be
followed with promotional videos
after release.
Top Of The Pops on BBC was where
music videos first started to be
shown, nowadays there are many
music channels since the dimense
of Top Of The Pops. MTV is a
popular music channel that shows
pop music videos.
3. Michael Jackson was the first Black
artist to have their music video
aired on MTV. His ‘Billie Jean’ was a
success and paved the way for
more Black artists in the future.
In the 1980s, Black American
artists such as Whitney Houston
and Prince, dominated the music
industry – allowing R&B music to
become more popular – this meant
that MTV was no longer dominated
by Rock music anymore
4. Over time music videos have
developed greatly since technology
has developed. From very basic
music videos such as ‘Bohemian
Rhapsody’ to highly edited videos
of extremely high definition.
Rather than music videos only
being shown on one channel they
are now available on a range of
music channels and also on
internet website such as ‘YouTube’.
