Bands on Film The Art of the Music Video: Over the last 20 years, the music video has ceased to be a humble promo, becoming as important as the song itself and evolving into an extension of a musician's creative identity. In 3 minutes a great music video can tell a story as iconic, moving and meaningful as any feature-length film. In this discussion, the British Music Experience will be examining how music video directors create the cinematic for the world of song.
