The extension is the music video its self. During the 20’s and 30’s moving image had just begun to move with music. Not having the technology used to create music videos like we have today e.g. metric give me sympathy (all one shot) but did you know that Scopitones are also known as Panorams, a coin operated jukebox which also played films to move with the music.
Scopitones were commonly found in cafes and amusement centres. Scopitones were well directed towards the younger generation as it was them that would purchase and listen to the music. The normal spots for the younger generation during the 20’s and 30’s was cafes and amusement centres. For example; In the musical indeana jones the 4th he meets his sone at a cafe/ diner.
during the 60s something amazing happend the beatles were born after the war with vietnarm youg teenagers wanted something different so when sex, drugs and rock and roll came across it was a good time for the beatles. when the beatles came out it was for more of the young teenager then a person in their mid 20s.
1970’s Top of the Pops began using music videos to go with an artists performance . top of the pops began in 64 but began using music video at the beginning of the 70’s. people still didnt understand videos and every thing was still new to the audience. One of best and one of the most famous music videos of the 70’s was Queens Bohemian Rhapsody.
In the 80s bands began to take the promotion of their music very seriously and with great succsess the music videos were made for each individual single. in the 80s every one saw many changes in technology and allowed for more advanced to come forward for music videos. Unfortunately without good promotion the artist, producer and production company wouldn’t be able to afford to film the next music video.
I dont think that people should purchess music videos from shops seeing as people can watch them all over youtube and TV as all can be viewed via music websites. YouTube is a video search engine which will nearly show anything you want. This is extremely furstraiting for the music industry although artists still need to use music video for there product or image.
During this development in technology over the past years the interactive videos were also created. These videos allow the viewer to change and interact with the video. YouTube also became an outlet for unsigned artists trying to become noticed. Many famous artists today were found using YouTube.
By using music videos, artists have been able to create an image that represents them, there music and any theme within their current music genre. Through music video . The most influential artist of all time when concerning artist image is Lady Gaga. Through experimenting and shocking people with outfits, the artist has created a whole new genre image.
