What is a Music Video?

Music Videos are short films that integrates a song and imagery, mainly produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Today they are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Music videos only came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium, although their origins date back further.

Today Music Videos use a wide range of styles of film making techniques, including animation, live action filming, documentaries, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Some Music Videos have blended these different styles, such as animation and live action.
