Music Video Audiences

Music Video Audiences

 

Music videos are aimed at:

·         Fans

·         Give the audience something to look at

Music videos are also a way for companies to make money, the Eminem music video took over £500m in sales.

Create their music to suit their target audience and they are also promotional tools/devices to promote the artist. Moreover, music videos are now having to be censored e.g. Miley Cyrus videos are having to be censored because it is not suitable for viewers.

Furthermore, most people think that music videos are designed for teenagers/young adults however this is a big mis-conception as there are also videos for the older generation.

How do we consume films?

 

We consume films through a variety of different methods, for example; TV, Phone, and YouTube etc. moreover, artists are presented to be attractive, empathic, narrative and abstract.

 

Eminem used synergy in his music videos, created a film which he then promoted himself as an actor rather than an artist.
