What is a music video?

A music video is a way that record companies sell their artist and the song to the general public or their target auidence, this is a useful way as it helps to increase the sale of the song and other songs created by that artist. Music videos are there to represent the feel of the song so if it is a sad song the backgrounds will be dull and will have no party scenes, where as if the song is up beat and has a happy vibe about it then the video is going to be bright coloured and have lots of party scenes. Sometimes the music video won't feature the artist at all but will have animations of the character they want to represent.
