Functions of Music Videos

As soon as we started the course we had to remember one key fact: Filming music videos are  nothing like filming Thriller openings.

Music videos are a series of images put together that cut to the beat of the song, mainly produced to sell an artist to the audience. It's all about profit, and through making a memorable song and enhancing it with a memorable video the song will be around for years. For example, Michael Jackson's Thriller video is by far one of the most memorable videos to date. This video shows the many dimensions that us film-makers can produce with simple ideas put together to create a truly mesmerising piece.
