The purpose of Music Videos


Introduction:


This blog is going to be about Music videos and I will be talking about what type of music videos there are and how certain stuff can help promote music videos. I will also be talking about the purpose of certain applications like Facebook and Itunes can help promote and sell music. I will also be defining what synergy is and talking about major and independant recording labels and self promoting artists.


The history of music videos:


The first music video ever to come to the television screens was by Queen - Boheimien Rhapsody which was released in 1975 for their album 'A night at the Opera'. This was the first music video that anyone did and was produced by Roy Thomas Baker and stayed at the top of the UK charts for nine weeks and selling over a million copies by the end of january 1976.  it was only after the success of "Bohemian Rhapsody" that it became regular practice for record companies to produce promotional videos for artists' single releases.
