What is the function of a music video?
Music videos have changed the way in which music is presented. Having a video with a song creates visual entertainment for the audience, and can present the song through performance as well as sound. Music videos can help make a song more memorable, the video may in fact stand out to the viewer more than the song itself. Videos can highlight the talents of an artist, which will help create a larger fan base, promoting the artist further. Video and audio being used together can provide the audience with a clearer understanding of the meaning of the song, music video can often tell a story. Overall, music videos play a big part in an artists success, as they can appeal to a wider audience, who are then more likely to want to see the artist/s live (gigs,concerts) and also buy their album!
