(✎) Music Videos Over Decades

Whatsup everybody, in this post I will be discussing about music videos over the decades and also commenting about the artistic style that the music videos have back then as well as we have today. Enjoy!

PART I 
____________________________________________________________________________

1. What I think about music videos over decades is that, generally, they are all the same. They tell the story, song, and expression in the video. But what makes the difference between today's music video with past music video's is the quality of the production. Today's video are more high quality such as the video and the sound itself, while the past don't have those qualities. Also, in my opinion past videos are more creative. For example, Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime, The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar, and Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer. They were the first ones who I think pushed the music video to the next level. Overall I think the past generation music videos are more emphasizing creativeness, while today's music videos are more emphasizing on the qualities, whether it is for the sound, video, etc.

2. I think The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar and Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer, are considered works of art in their own right, because no other music videos are the same like them, although there are some, but they are the first ones who I think invented them.

3. Obviously, the past generation music videos aren't in good qualities because technologies in innovation were less back then, so overall opinion is that the past were low quality, while today we have 4K.

5. I think a music group could try to go to the space just to film and record their music video.
