From doing this task it has aided my understanding on how the film industry and institution has changed over the past century. I now know why and when the blow up of music videos occurred throughout history. Back in the day, a music video was very much just the artist or band with a instrument playing into a microphone, from doing this task, i have realized how important a music video is to capture the song in footage and it gives the lyrical aspect the reality it needs. Each lyric means something to the song and due to the rapid progression of music videos, it can be represented in unique and immersive ways. I've also learned that over the years artists spend a lot of time and money on top quality directors and studios. They also started to care about the audience more as the development of music videos has seen a rise in popularity and money. In essence, the music video is a some kind of short film for the song, it's representing. In history, there has also been technological breakthroughs that have aided the audience members throughout time. When MTV was first established, it just replayed through existing music videos. This allowed publicity to smaller bands who could therefore go mainstream. Overall, having the introduction of music videos brought far more benefits to the industry, it also allowed directors, film makers, prop designers and clothing brands to benefit from the revenue processed through  these videos.
