History of the Music Video

This video may not have the information needed to explain what the changes through music videos are, however on this we will try to explain what we meant by the different eras. The main focus our group gained from research of the music video is the lyrical meaning behind it. Started from 1950s you see Elvis Presley and even though his lyrics have some narrative nature behind it the song is full of  "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog". Even though it is good to have some repetitiveness throughout a song or music video it seems over played. In 2000s Avril Lavigne also repeats "hey hey you you" through out the song the other lyrics tell a more narrative story and that is what is beneficial to music videos with songs that include meaningful lyrics as producers are able to incorporate the lyrics to actions which in itself creates an image in your head of what might be happening and the music video will tend to be relatively similar to your original thought process.

What we should have done to improve our video was we should have explained the changes through the eras and how the music videos improve the popularity of songs and channels created for this purpose, such as Youtube and MTV.
