A Music Video is a short film or visual clip that accompanies a song or piece of music. More recent videos are used as promotional gimmicks and to enhance the enjoyment of the listener.
This first music videos were released in the 1950's but even as early as the 1920's animated videos were accompanied by musical pieces labelled 'visual music'. For example the early items from Walt Disney such as Fantasia were based soley around music.
Through the years videos have obviously changed a huge amount, in the beginning it was largely just simple videos of the artists singing with some variety. Nowadays there are many types of video such as narrative, lyrical or performance. The genre that our chosen song is from more typically has a narrative mixed with performance video. These are known as hybrid versions and many examples of these can be found on youtube like the couple below..
Love Drunk - Boys Like Girls
Tonight Tonight - Hot Chelle Rae
Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
