Early years of music video
Music videos have been
around since 1920s where Jazz music was very popular, artists such as Bessie
Smith designed short videos to accompany her songs; the lack of technology
shows as it consists on one long takes.
One of the first credited
music videos was made by Bob Dylan in 1965 with Subterranean Homesick Blues as
a segment for D.A Pennebakers film 'Don't look back'.
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
was released in 1975 along with the music video, both the song and video were
extremely credited. Queen marked the beginning of the video era and set the
language for modern music video, the music video was considered to be the first
to successfully use visual effects within their video.
Fatboy Slim 'Praise You' is
an example of a home video style music video with no cuts.
Most dance videos don't
feature the artist in, Wiley's 'Money In My Pocket' is an example of a one take
video where the artist is not featured. One take videos can be difficult
to film as everything has to be precise and on time, if something goes wrong
the take will have to be redone completely.
