Music Video's have changed throughout the years from around the 1970's to recent times now. They started off as a short video showing the
performance or story behind the song. For example in 1979 The Buggles' video
for 'Video Killed The Radio Star' portrays how future technology is changing.
The early music videos were simple, this could be due to a small budget or lack
in experience of making the music videos themselves.
However, in 1981 MTV was established and this was when the
productions really took off. The budgets soared and music videos became popular
due to whole stations dedicated to just music. An example of an 80's music
video is Eurhythmics music video for 'Sweet Dreams'. This uses different
conventions than before, as it uses actual video in it's setting. An example
from the 90's is Björk's video for 'It's Oh So Quiet', which focuses in on one
character, being Björk.
Now a days, music videos are all different. They can contain
CGI, animation and even just be simple. Everything has been done. A weird video
from recent times is Lady Gaga's video 'Pokerface'.
