Music Video Literal Understanding

 Definition: 

A filmed or videotaped rendition of a recorded song, often portraying musicians performing the song or including visual images interpreting the lyrics.

Wikipedia explanation...

music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes.[1] Modern music videos are primarily made and used as amarketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Although the origins of music videos date back much further, they came into prominence in the 1980s, when MTVbased their format around the medium. 
Music videos use a wide range of styles of film making techniques, including animationlive action filming, documentaries, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Some music videos blend different styles, such as animation and live action. Many music videos interpret images and scenes from the song's lyrics, while others take a more thematic approach. Other music videos may be without a set concept, being merely a filmed version of the song's live performance.

Here, I have found out what the literal understanding is when talking about a music video. I have learnt  what it is and the purpose of it to start the process of conducting more research on the way to making my own music video for this project.
