I watched a programme called videos that shapped the 80s. There were some very intesting music videos that i hadn't seen before and songs that i know of but haven't see the song visually. I decided to pick a top three out of the songs i saw here they are:
1. Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen are a massivly known band who had the advantage of having a front man like Freddie Murcuary. Their song Bohemian Rhapsody was quoted as the "1st exstravaganda that kickstarted music television". This song was amazing musicaly but also visually. The band were on tour and couldn't perform on Top Of The Pops and so they made a music video which suited the structure of the music.
2. Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles. Their lyrics to the song were not intentional at the time they were just fun lyrics however this music video was the first ever video to be shown on MTV and now the lyrics do actually have a sicnificance to how the music industry has changed.
3.The third music video i am going to mention is Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie the reason i have chosen this as one of my top videos out of the videos i sawis because it was the first music video to include daring imaginative ideas. the effects thats the directors used on the music video were very hard to create and all their ideas were challenged such as trying to make the sky look black. However they managed to pull it off and i think it is very intresting how images like that today are very easily created because othetechnology we are fortunate to have.
