1925 sweet georgia brown- filmed in black and white, very animated and upbeat sound. it also shows the musicians playing the song live with a conductor leading them. the camera was constantly on the the band and didn't move.

1929 st. louis blues- filmed in black and white with visuals of the artist singing with background singing. sad and slow sounding which would imply the artists sorrow.

1950 jailhouse rock-filmed in black and white, upbeat song telling a story about dancing in jail. the artist is seen dancing throughout the video on set of a jail prop wall with backup dancers dressed as jail mates and police.

1960 Don't look back- part 1:light background music and two men talking about the production of the music video while playing the video which consisted of a man holding up cards with words on it relating to the video.
part 2: the music video is of a man with cards and the words are of the last few words of the artist singing. this is an introduction to lyrics.

1966 strawberry fields forever- in colour, lots of different shots. they also had different techniques like having different times of day, going from midday to the night.

1970 bohemian rhapsody- the video is in colour and is just the artist close u; shots of their face and them singing the song. it then changes into shots form a floor view of a stage and the artists playing their song with more shots of them with a slow sound. it then changes into am opera the into a rock song with multiple shots changing constantly of the artists including close-ups, stage views and the artists in a group.

1970 jocko homo- not sure what to say

1980 ashes to ashes- very slow, in colour and only to sets, one being in the desert and maybe ment to look like an alien planet to the artist sitting in the dark by himself.

1990 wannabe-

Lesson 1: Music Video 14/09/16

MV1: The purpose of this video is to promote the artist and to promote the song by creating dance to go with this specific style of music.

MV2: The purpose of this video is to promote the artists album by giving the video an interesting storyline that interacts with the viewers. this video also increases the artists range of media by getting the world talking about his video. The video could also be a subliminal message to people watching and the "monsters" seen and spoken of could be a representation of something else.

MV3: The purpose of this video is to promote the artists album and to tell a story about parts of his life and his opinions on his views of society and how people are trying to be like him but stating there is only one. this could be a message to new rappers and a warning not to repeat what he does. Also this video obviously shows how the artist doesn't care about peoples opinion on his decisions and says how he is brave enough to say what he says about society/the media and be blasé about it.

Drakes "Hotline Bling" got massive publicity through TV, social media and radio by incorporating a good beat  and simplistic lyrics with interesting dance moves throughout the video that overall turned into a catchy song that is widely recognised through multiple groups of people. the song hit top charts within the first week of being releases but however, Drake did not have a video released with the song and so the song was never played on youtube or on TV until a few weeks of being on the top charts.
