Carnival Beats Music Media

Music videos is a very important part of the music industry. There are even artists that owe their careers to their music videos. Ever heard the phrase, "A picture makes for a thousand words." Bands and Artisits are at the end of the day Brands, and a Video is just another way to maximise their brand awareness and reach the people. Just a glorified advert for the band/artist.

Imagine if you wanted everyone in your city to see you perform your song and you have no music video. How much time would it take to go to each person and perform? Perhaps you could set up a few shows and get some people to come out… but how many times would you have to perform to reach all those people? Instead of spending all that time you can have a video made that can reach into the homes of all the people in your city (and even around the world) simultaneously. A music video that is strategically placed on the Internet is not limited geographically.

One thing that’s for sure is having the right image for your style of music is key in connecting to the fan-base your going after. One of the most visible areas of artist imagery is always their pictures.

Band/Artist pictures should be one area that all developing acts should focus time on and creative energy towards. It’s sad to say, but great images are almost always associated with great acts. Think about it; When you see a band/artist that has great creative images of themselves, you assume that their music is just better then those who don’t. It’s sad to say, but it’s true.

Great pictures have many benefits other then a positive perception about your music. An artist is much more likely to get press mentions, album reviews and lots of other promotional opportunities just because of great image they can use for the story.
