What is a music video?

A music video is a promotional tool for the sales of a artist/band to try and market the song that is shown within the video. If the audience enjoys the music video then they are more likely to buy the track, and in a more modern day and age, even buy the video from downloading websites such as Itunes to go onto the customers ipod or mp3 player.

A music video also shows the audience what the artist/band is like and what sort of band they are which increases his/her/their fan base



All Time Low - I Feel Like Dancin'.
This video shows the audience that they are a new age indie/punk band who see themselves as jokers and dont take themselves very seriously. Also in this video they are making fun of many of the mainstream ideas that have been released in recent times




Britney Spears - 3.
However, in comparison to all time low's video, this one is extremely different as this is very mainstream.

Music videos are also extremely creative. This is shown in many different videos that tell a story throughout the time span of the video. A very good example of a narrative would be Nickelback - I'd come for you



Music videos are also used to promote an up and coming new band's album. Music videos usually now come free when people go and buy an album.




music videos are also an example of a synergy Eminem's film 8 Mile inspired his album 8 Mile which caused his song 'Lose Yourself' to have a number one hit
