Look back to AS

Brief look back to AS's A2 lessons about music videos

In AS's lessons we looked into music videos one thing we learnt in this lesson was the purpose of music videos, the main purposes of which are to entertain fans and promote a group or musician, we looked at Andrew Goodwins theory that music videos entertain and encourage multiple views creating expectations from different genres of music's music videos.

We looked at the evolution of music videos, their content and how they distributed. We look at "The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star" the first music video on MTV and then compared it to more modern videos like Lady Gaga's Telephone today we have many platforms to access music videos like online, today social media and online sites play a big role in promoting and giving access to a music video, in the past there were just a few channels to watch it on.
