What Is the function of a music video?

What is a music video  
A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Many music videos use a wide range of ways to do there video. Live action filming, documentaries, animation, narrative or non narrative approach. some videos can even mix all these or a couple together it depends on what they are trying to achieve. All music videos have repeated shots for example the chorus, also the video is edited on the beat and a example of this is the bike song by Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. 
 

In the modern world of today almost every artist needs to have a video. why you ask, well, a music video makes an artist known the audience know who they are and recognize them. so it promotes the artist as well as the song. it can even be use to help sell the artist album that maybe upcoming. the video can tell us the genre the artist is working in for example a hip hop video we as the audience expect to see loads of money, stunning girls and flashy houses with expensive cars. The video also adds another dimension to the song as it gives us a visual element and create a connection with the viewer and artist. The video mainly entertains us and give us that all important image the artist is trying to portray.
