TASK ONE: Music Video Research

Learning Comment:
From doing this task, I was learnt just how much music videos have changed over time. In the 1960s, videos were rare and ones that were made were mostly used as templates for other videos. They were also always in black and white which made aspects such as clothing much less visible than music videos today. Editing effects were also much less seen as technology was much more little than it is now, editors were unable to include effects such as 'fades' or slow/fast shots. However, in music videos made as early as 1980 included editing techniques such as fades. Modern videos in modern days still use techniques that were used very early on and maybe without these videos, we might not have discovered certain editing traits. Due to these techniques we are able to use today, music videos seem much more interesting and professionally made. Due to all the colours also, they are eye-catching and sometimes one of the most important features when artists bring out new songs.
