In the 1920’s the song ‘St Louis Blues’ by Louis Armstrong came out. The video was in black and white, there was a story and meaning behind this song which was this man was poor but saw the women on the street who had her heart broken. The Jazz singer/song writer decided to write a song about the situation that happened.

Moving onto the 1960’s, when The Beatles were popular. The film technology was getting cheaper and broadcasting was growing, the pop cultures were starting to get noticed a lot more such as The Beatles, Elvis Presey etc.

This music video was considered as the first video to be broadcasted on tv, and kept making videos through out the 60s.

Into the 1970’s, this decade was about experimenting with different film.

Before MTV broadcasted in the 80’s, Top of the Pops was very popular British music chart tv program to the present day of 2006. It was one of the many first tv programs to be in colour as colour in tv was released in 1969.

In 1980’s MTV came out on tv, which took over tv. the tv show included music such as, videos and the different cultures in music, however it is not like how it is today..

The first music video to come out on the 24 hour music video show was ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ by the band ‘The Buggles’.

Present day (80’s – 2018)

A lot of things have changed from 1980’s such as, the quality of the music videos, the marketing and the videos being more creative.
