The first half of the trip was Pete Fraser talking about the history of the music video. He did this decade by decade, so I'm going to do individual posts for each decade.
From MTV to Youtube.
1930's
The concept of the music video was not yet developed in the '30's but the artist Len Lye was among the first to have a video that had visuals to go with music. This was called an 'art video', and was made up of lots of different stills all played together. This video is called 'A Colour Box'
The concept isn't entirely a music video, but there are characteristics that are similar, for example the way the images change with the music. There is also an element of product placement that is still used today, in that the Post Office have advertisements in the video, as back then they would have funded any videos made.
