What Is The History Of Music Videos?

Music videos didn't have such a big importance as they do now. They started off as black and white shots which were then put together with the music going over it, they were of a low quality and weren't very clear. By the 1960s, short motion pictures were created which lead to music videos being created. For example, Disney would produce clips which had classical music playing over it. Visual jukeboxes were also popular as these were short clips used to be shown when the music was playing. As music videos developed, people began to create videos in colour and they used different techniques to put their videos together. By the middle of the 1980s, music videos became very important when it came to promoting songs and in today's society have become a very popular and vital method of advertising artists and their music.
