In 1941 the invention of the jukebox was the first use of video and music using short video clips. 15 years later Hollywood discovers the genre of music- centered films, Don't Knock the Rock, Rattle and Rock E.T.C were created, integrating musical performances into a story. In 1962 the British invents a new form of music television making shows such as Top Of The Pops, Ready! Steady! Go! become huge hits. Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975 by Queen was one of the videos in its time to use advance video effects. the video itself used effects such as dissolving to show two different camera angles at once, it also looked as if it was set on a normal stage as there was different stage mounted color lights flashing throughout. the video today will look very bland and simple but as it was using advance effects during its creation it was marking the beginning of the video era.
5 years later, David Bowie released ashes to ashes which was considered a ground breaking video. the video itself contain strange edits and a change of color grading to make everything red which would represent warmth. in 1984 Laura Branigan released her hit song Self Control which was refused airplay by MTV as they believed the music video contained objectionable which can been agreed upon as the video itself contained multiple scenes which could be seen as sexual which in times such as the 70's, 80's and 90's was frowned upon. The same year Micheal Jackson released his short film Thriller, this changed he concept of music videos forever. The 13 minute long film.
