In todays lessons we discussed what are the main function of a music video. And here is what we thought will make an music video successful.The main function of a music video is to advertise the artist and the single or a new album. How this works is that it shows the artist being the main image in the video and making connections with the audience. The music video reprensents the artists. So even when the song is not what someone usually listens to, the music video can attract the viewer to go and buy the song or go to a concert where he might expect a similar "show" as on the TV. Many artists that use this technique to promote them self and entertain the audience are people Like: Michael jackson, Modonna, Lady gaga and etc. The more the viewers recongnize the artists and start to like them the more they will go and watch their tours and concerts. Here are view examples of videos that show this.......
Michael Jacksons thriller album has said to be the most best selling album of all time however it is the video that made him get the sales. Since most things are done digitally some artists videos get noticed and go 'virul'. This is a term of which music videos/songs start to spread like a 'virus. An example of this would be Rebecca blacks debut song 'Friday' although it got highly critised by many people that did not stop its views from youtube rising day by day. Furthermore OK GO is also an example of a virul video as the band became succesful from its video being spread. It is a simple video but again it still gets views. Here is their song called 'here it goes again'.
