On- going weekly production diary - What did you notice about the video timelines?

This week we studied four different timeline artists from the 80's all the way to the present years. By studying the different style of music over time i've learnt that  as the decade moves on the genre of music and the music videos themselves become a lot more distinctive to that specific genre. Also what they include in the music videos have progressed and artists aren't afraid to push boundaries because we know that something controversial can create a lot of speculation which just means more publicity for the artists.  I also noticed that in the more recent decades, the music itself is no longer just one genre or for one specific type of audience. Artists are aware that targeting just one audience isn't going to make them any sales.
