Research : The function of a music video , 1st lesson back.

Music videos are said to be important as it adds to the overall experience of listening to music by giving the audience a visual representation of the song as well. However it's main function i believe is to advertise the song or the artist . For example if there was no video the only way someone would be able to hear it is through radio and mp3 however by there being a video we'll be able to acsess it on music channels , youtube , Facebook and twitter. Videos are also important as they bring out a new dimension to a song and allow artists to shape their image.



This is a sheet which i wrote out on the 1st , it gives us a break down on what code and conventions are , a definition of genre so we can understand better and teaches us about the importance of 'Narrative structure' and the order of events.

I learnt that the order of events of a song is :
1st verse
chorus
2nd verse
chorus
3rd verse
chorus
bridge
outro

which is important to remember because when editing as a group we'll have to edit to the beat and be able to show when each part of the song is playing . The audience has to be able to identify when we've reached the chorus through my groups editing .
