Our practice task - Music video key timeline (6)

Music video Timeline



Why were music videos created?

In the 1930's when 'Screen Songs' were introduced, these videos were made with the intention of getting audiences to sing along to the songs and have fun. This was used to help publicise the songs/artists as well as to get the audiences more involved with the songs by encouraging them to sing along with them.

In the 1960's more modern styles of music videos were created which actually included the band in them. This again helped to promote the songs/artists and put a face to the name for audiences. These types of videos helped to promote the band along with their songs.

In 1981, MTV was created which helped in promoting the music videos to audiences. This would help the marketing of albums for the artists as their songs would be played on the TV which many people would see, and then it would encourage them to buy the albums. It also helped to promote bands/artists by showing their music videos which could encourage people to listen to the artists.

In 2005 YouTube was crated which made it even easier for artists to promote themselves and their music. YouTube is a free online site which anyone can use to either to watch or upload content. This site is now one of the main ways in which people watch music videos due to the fast and easy access there is to it. Unlike music channels, YouTube allows people to watch whatever music videos they want and they don't have to wait for it to come on like you do on music channels.

Audience Research (23)

What are you trying to find out in your research? In my research I am trying to discover many things which will help me in developing my A2 coursework. The main thing I am trying to discover is whether people still consume music videos and what the age range is of people who consume them. I am also trying to discover what other media products people consume and if they think that my idea for a music video is a good one or if i should change elements of it.  When conducting my research I went out into Wymondham town to ask people the questions as apposed to just asking people in the sixth-from. There are many strengths to doing this, the main being that it gives me more reliable data. In the sixth-form there are only students and teacher so just asking them my research questions limits the demographic response of my data to just students and teachers. By going out and conducting my research in Wymondham town it gives me a wider range of different people and thus widens my demo...

Practise task explained (1)

Me and Rosie were randomly given a question and a nursery rhyme which we could use as a stimulus to create our music video. The question we were given was Should I get a tattoo? and the nursery rhyme we were given was Jack and Jill . These were the two points that we could use to help create a music video, and we could choose to incorporate either both or one into our video. Our initial ideas for this task is to use the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill as a stimulus for our music video as there seems to be more directions we could go with this than with the question Should I get a tattoo ?  Jack and Jill lyrics   J ack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after. Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper He went to bed and bound his head With vinegar and brown paper. After looking up the complete lyrics for the nursery rhyme i decided to do some research into the meaning be...

Evaluation question 2

How effective is the combination of your main product and ancillary tasks? In my personal opinion I feel that the combination between my video and ancillary tasks are very effective. Within all three of the products I incorporated the same photographs so that the synergy between the products were clear. One of the main elements of my music video was the father looking back at the good memories with his daughter through photographs which were hanging up in her room. Because of how important the photos were in the video I felt that it was vital to incorporate them into the ancillary tasks as well. Typically within solo music videos the focus is on the artist and this is then incorporated onto the cover of the digipack and album release poster too. However, due to me challenging this typical convention I had to use a different theme to link all my products together to create synergy, which is where the link between the photographs came in. When first looking at the title of my alb...
