How Music Video's Have Changed
In this blog i'm going to explain and show how music videos have changed over the years, showing the first music videos compared to the most resent.
The first music video was made was a music video by Queen on there song Bohemian Rhapsody which was made in 1975. The beginning of the video is very simple, they are standing with a light behind them, they look almost like silhouettes, you can't see them singing although there heads are slightly moving so you know that they are. When this video was produced it would have been hard to find the technology to lip syncing so they would have to be singing in real life. The light then (in time with the music) fades from the back of them to the front of them showing there faces, the rest of the shot is very dark so you can just see the yellow light on her faces. Then using a fading and layering tool the lead singers face over laps all the others faces. The shot then changes completely going to them playing in the band, this is a lot brighter as they are wearing white cloths and the light is bright.
Throughout the video it switches from these two sense, for a music video in that time they used advanced technology and this has showed however nowadays everything has changed (music video wise) and they are a lot more about tell a story of the song then the performance its self.
This is the the music video by Queen.
The modern music video I have chosen is beyonće- XO, I have chosen this video as it really shows the difference between the two videos, the video by Queen is very simple, whereas this video by Beyonće shows many different camera techniques and also shows a story line, the camera travels with her and the editing is quick and makes it all seem like a dream and like you are with her.
This is Beyonće XO video.
Over the year music videos have changed beyond recognition, the main reason for this is that the ideas that people have now can be done, the soft wear, editing and cameras are now available to use and therefore any idea that you have for a music video can be achieved.
