Finding The Purpose
Music videos are defined as a clip with a variable length that combines audio from a song or album with visuals created for marketing or musical artistic purposes
or
a commercial video that showcases a popular song being performed, frequently using lip-syncing and special effects-heavy dramatisation by the actors.
Many people may believe that music videos have taken a back seat in their minds because we are no longer exposed to them as frequently as we once were due to technological advancements. Music listening habits have changed, there are no videos on Spotify, and our shrinking attention spans make it tempting to look at another screen while our music plays in the background. Although some may argue that music videos have no relevance to today's society or music, others believe they are still as important as they have always been as an art form.
Music is often forgotten or lost in a sea of content in a culture that consumes art and entertainment.
The videos help artists stand out from the crowd, vying for their audience's attention. Good artists are easy to overlook, which is why each artist must use every available method to get their music heard by the world. A music video significantly increases an artist's visibility and exposure. Music videos are used in marketing to promote the sale of an artist's work. It encourages the audience to listen and draws their attention, persuading them to buy it by telling a story. Creating a memorable visual experience increases the likelihood of a song selling. The majority of music videos can serve as examples of this, but for now, let's use Sia's Cheap Thrills as an example. The video is presented in black and white and is framed like an antique television set, which is an unconventional method to display music videos today. She tried something new to draw clients, and it seems like she was successful because the video has received 1,748,853,272 views as of right now on YouTube.

Furthermore, in music videos, it is not always the artist or the album that is the focus, but also the products.
Music videos are a focal point of what the artist hopes to express through their music, and they play an important role in their creative vision. A video's visual impact can be just as powerful as its musical impact. A video can help an artist connect with their fans by allowing them to get to know the artist and see the world through their eyes for the duration of a song. People form bonds when they can share their experiences and emotions, and music videos allow this to happen. Music videos do more than just complement a song; the content of a video can mean the difference between simply enjoying a song and truly understanding its meaning. A very strong example of this could be See you again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth as that song was released in the memory of actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in November 2013 shortly after filming Furious 7.
Music videos allow us to see the artist's vision unfold in front of our eyes. We not only hear but also see. They create a multidimensional experience for the audience, giving them a truly sensational experience. When we watch music videos, we are seeing a visual representation of a song; we see what the artist sees when they listen to their music. An example of this could be Montero by Lil Nas X. I had quite different expectations for the music video when I first heard the song, but that is typical of Lil Nas X's approach to making music videos.
Nowadays, selling and advertising things has also been a goal of music videos. Pepsi is one company that has done this by producing popular songs in Pakistan to advertise its beverage. Younger people are the target audience for the song videos, hence very vibrant neon colours have been utilised. Why Not Meri Jaan will serve as a concrete illustration of this.
Headlines by Drake is a possible example of product placement in music videos. Drake appears in the opening shots of this music video for "Headlines" sporting a Nike hoodie and a pair of Nike gloves. Due of the contrast between the white swoosh and the black clothing in these frames, the Nike emblem looks to be the main focus.
