Music videos originally began in 1975. Bohemian Rhapsody which was released by Queen, was considered to be a 'ground breaking' video which started an era of modern music videos. The video had minimal editing, and the video consists of Queen playing their instruments for 5 minutes.
The next so called 'ground breaking' video came from David Bowie in 1980 with his song called Ashes to Ashes. This music video is set in what looks to be in the future or even on another planet, with many different colours and lively actors all in the mix.
4 years later in 1984, Laura Branigan's video for her song Self Control had been refused airplay by MTV. This was because the music video was too explicit/sexual for TV at the time.
Shortly after, Michael Jackson's Thriller is released and it changes how music videos are seen forever. This video goes on for 13 minutes and is considered a short film.
Skipping to 1995, Michael Jackson did a duet with his sister, Janet Jackson. They released their song Scream, and this was the most expensive music video ever made.
In 2010 Lady Gaga's music videos reached 1 billion views in total. Her song Poker Face had reached 375 million views on YouTube alone.
In 2015 YouTube turns 10 and around 300 hours of video content is posted on the website every minute. And YouTube also becomes music video friendly.
