Music Videos Over Time

Over time the technology that is used to film and produce music videos has improved greatly. This meant that the quality of thr final piece has become more clear.

As for the actual footage that gets used in music videos it has become more and more distorted in terms of the narrative in the video. Another contrast between modern day music videos and older ones is that green screen is a common feature in modern videos as it allows for the video to use different footage that may not be easy to shoot without digital aid.

In modern music videos the video tends to focus more on the singers because of the lack of instruments that feature in some genres. The main genres that do this are pop and rap music as many of the artists can't play an instrument and it wouldn't look professional if the artist was playing the wrong note of an instrument throughout the video. In older videos they were more instrument based because in order for the artist to become a recognised recording artist they had to write there own music and do a lot of legwork, as there were no tv talent shows, to become signed to a record label.
