The purpose of a music video

the main objective of a music video is to premote the song and its artist. The artist wants to sell records of the song so they produce a music video to entertain the audience ending with them buying the song to listen to more often. once that song is sold to a customer then they can add it to ipods and other mp3 devices to listen to repeatedly and show to their friends.
before mp3 players and such there were limited ways to watch artiosts and listen to their songs. One of these ways was a popular tv programme that started in 1964 called top of the pops. this particular programme hosted all of the best artist of that particular year,month and week.

Since the show stopped aring in 2006 there have been many other ways to watch music videos and listen to the artist perform. One of the biggest ways to do this is to watch them on youtube, this is a video website where you can type anything in from how to cook a meal to how to build a lego toy. the artists post their videos on here for the public to watch and give feedback. very similar to what we do in AS and A2.
