RESEARCH: Function of a music video




Function of a music video

The purpose of a music video is to to mainly promote the single/song and the artist. 

It is mainly a marketing tool that is used as a 
visual aid to sell the artist as a performer, so people will be encouraged to no only buy the song, but to buy concert tickets to see them perform live too. It is also used to market the artist as a brand- and other brands too 





For example In lady Gagas : Telephone video there were several product placements such as Pepsi,Polaroid,Dr Marten, Beats by dre and Virgin media.

The main purpose of a music video is to sell the song in a memorable way, provide the viewer with a better understanding of the song from the artists point of view to engage the audience visually and audibly.
