five quotes

"a music video is not pimarily a commodity form but a promotional one." quote from Andrew Goodwin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Goodwin 

this quote basically means that music videos are for advertising and not for making a profit, they are to advertise a band.this is an idea of the music industry bieng a business. the reason they will place money into a band is because they intend a higher return for their investment.

"music videos now provide pictures for the songs in our heads. Goodbye imagination... All the kids have to do is watch and listen, stare straight ahead. No need to think, to embelish , to create, to immagine, the elecric fix is in." Joe Saltzman

This quote is of how the music videos of today have ruined the immage that we had in our heads of how the story would have played out, his capitalised on the fact that no one would think further or keep thinking their own ideas whilst listening to the song.

This fact can be argued as many people dont just watch a video and keep ths idea in mind, some songs if telling a story will be seen differently by whoever listens to it depending upon their own life experiences.
