Research and planning Brief history of music video

A music video is a short film or video that accompanies a complete a piece of music/song. Modern music videos are made for marketing device intend to promote the sale of music recordings. Music videos came into there own in the 1980's when MTV based format around the medium and later with the laugh of VH1.
In 1926 with the arrival of 'talkies'many musical short films were produced.



This was the first video to be published on MTV and as you can see is it very basic and low-fi.


This video is very different to the one above as it has budget is a lot higher and is very glossy.



This video has a very stereotypical towards women. It is also very over the top sexy and it shows that videos are becoming very more obviously sexual.

    Your examples are good but this is too brief. You also need to discuss recent developments linked to Youtube and other new technologies - have a look at the link to the Guardian articles in my A2 Media blog for some ideas on this.
