Meaning of a Music Video

A music video is a short film, which consists of a song and imagery, often made/produced for promotional purposes, or for the artistic purposes.  Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Music videos tend to consist of three stylistics, such as cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing. Sound being an obvious part of the music video, as without sound it would not represent anything, or promote anything what-so-ever. Music videos can feature live performances, animation, and also general filming which is what most music videos consist of. Many music videos represent the lyrics in the song, and often show visuals to interpret the lyrics for the audience watching, giving more of a meaning to the actual song.
