MTV was created in 1981. So it meant that singers and band should try and make their music videos more engaging to their audience as they had more chances to watch it rather than once a week on Top Of The Pops.
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean + Beat it (1982)
Dance now becomes a very important part of music videos.
In Beat It there is a storyline before the song has even started and he is seen saving the day again.
I like the idea of having a storyline before the song begins it means that fans of the song are more likely to watch the music video to see whats different. Maybe a dance routine would be fun to do if we make a second music video.
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer (1986)
This Video includes a very effective stop motion effect as you end up watching the film not listening to the music.
I think that stop motion would be a fun and interesting technique to try but very time consuming. It might be good to try and have a section of our music video in stop motion.
Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal (1987)
The music video adheres to some of the conventions for Film Noir and it seems as if film genres are becoming more popular with in music videos.
