This Prezi shows the adaptation of Music Videos over the course of a long period. Within this slideshow, it discusses how Music Videos came about and the effects it has had on the music industry ever since.
Companies and by-products of the invention of music videos are:
- YouTube
- VEVO
- Top of the Pops (Primarily for live performance but Music Videos were later incorporated.)
- MTV (Music Television.)
If Music Videos did not exist, most successful singles such as 'Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody' would have never been as successful. However, this does not mean to say it is true for every hit single but it does help when promoting new music.
For example:
- Taylor Swift is going to release her new album '1989' on the 27th of October, 11 days from now.
- To first promote her album, to get her audience interested, she released her single 'Shake it Off' AND released a music video on YouTube for it at the same time.
- This promoted her single to a mass audience as millions of people use YouTube everyday.
- Therefore, this made her single her second #1 since her single 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
- Two days ago, due to her success with 'Shake it Off', as the closing date for her new album nears, she released another song 'Out of the Woods' - but did not release a video.
- This meaning, that her publicity was so successful, that she didn't need to.
- Her two songs 'Shake it Off' and 'Out of the Woods' are currently #1 and #2 on iTunes.
