The Music Video
About the Course:
In 1981, the launch of Music Television on American broadcast introduced viewers to a genre of film embodied in commerciality and rich in sheer entertainment - the music video. By the late-80s, with mega-star artists such as Michael Jackson and Madonna, music video's popularity would rise and act as a vital component for all artists to release alongside singles. While born thorugh the vein of commerce, the image of the music video, from its antecedents till today, all reveal an imaginative aspect worth noting outside of its commercial context. Primarily focusing on works from the mid-90s to the early 00s, this course will attempt to decipher meaning from numerous music videos, in an attempt to critically answer the question: What is music video?
