History of Music Videos - Pioneers

One of the first music videos was made during the 1960s for The Animals song 'House of the Rising Sun'. This was filmed in full colour and featured the band playing along to the song. After that The Beatles started producing videos to go with their songs. A feature film was made for A Hard Days Night. More bands started to follow this trend with The Byrds making a video for their song 'Set you free this time'. The Beatles were the band that took music videos to the next level. Both Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane were released in full colour in 1967 as well as using strange camera angles to make the songs more of an art form. Music videos were becoming bigger by the late 60s. One of the most pioneering music videos was Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan. This featured the artist shuffling several cue cards with lyrics on. This video has been imitated many times in popular culture. Many bands made music videos in the late 1960s because it could promote the song more as well as the band.
