99 dollar music video

What is 99dollarmusicvideo.com

99dollarmusicvideo is a YouTube website were independent music bands and filmmakers go and produce videos and they can share there videos and they can submit it to the YouTube website. Another thing is that they will have to stick to that budget they can't go other the limit.

The values of 99dollarmusicvideo is that you don't have to have a lot of money to make a good video for example there website say this " Does it take a million bucks to make a good video." another quotation is " How much were these music videos made for? Try under $100. Director Kathleen  gets two chances at creating the perfect $99 music video".   this is saying that you can make a video look professional with $99.


the genre and labels that 99dollarmusicvideo offer is abstract videos and animated and majority of the content is performance.

The relationship between 99dollarmusicvideo and there film makers and music acts 

the relationship between 99dollaremusicvideo and there film makers and music acts is not good because they have not interacted with them for years and there YouTube channel has stopped because the last video they uploaded was 4 years ago so this indicates that they relationship with there film makers and music acts is not good. 



How does 99dollarmusicvideo encourage there audience
they encourage there audience because when the audience watch there video's they would not expect the video to be made by $99 because it will look professional for example the camera techniques.

Is it possible to make a professional quality music video for $99 

I believe that it is not possible to make a video for $99 because you will have to go over the budget depending on what you are spending it on but .If you include props , the props will cost a lot of money and if your actors need to have costumes you will spend a lot of money to buy the costume also you might have to spend money , on the location because if your allowed to shoot your video in that location so already your over $99  and you will definitely need money to spend for your equipment and gadgets because they will be the main priority because you would want to make the video look like it's high definition another reason is that they would need to spend money the most on there cast, crew and actors because the actors will be the ones that are singing and the crew will be the ones that are directing.

Goodwin's ideas about Music Video

Andrew Goodwin was a university professor and also he was an author and he wrote a book about his theory of music videos and his book was called Dancing in the Distraction Factory also the book was published in 1992.






Illustrating

Illustrating is the video directly corresponding to lyrics as in this case the song underneath that is called fireflies.

 This music video cuts to the beat really well for example at 1:18 the robot is matching to the beat and it makes it interesting because the lyrics are matching the beat but as well when you watch this video the video it self has an impact because its a good video and it connotes that the artist is creative and they use this cutting to the beat style really well. The camera language of this video are shots were it illustrates the lyrics matching the movements and the mood of the song. 





Amplifying


I chose this song because it enhances the style and mood of the song because it matches the mood of the song for example at 0:29 it has the child and his blocking out the noise because the man is shouting at him and the camera language of this video are majority of the time close-ups because to see how the facial expressions are and this a method of the Goodwin theory.





Contradicting



contradicting is the video deliberately going against the lyrics and the mood of the song.

I chose this music video because the lyrics doesn't match the action there are a lot of different camera techniques and the style of this video is weird because the lyrics does't match the video also the artist is not talking about money but yet it's indicates money and this will confuse the audience because of the way the video is laid out for example at 1:03 it's contradicting because the artist is saying "it's not about the money money" but in the video it shows her behind a money tree.

Voyeurism


I chose video because the music video itself is very stereotypical but the video has a lot of females and the way that the females are treated are bad because, the men are just staring at them but at 1:45 it shows that the men are seeking for females and this may not appeal to the audience because the audience may view this video in a different way because of the treatment of the females  because not a lot of video include voyeurism but this video is entertaining also the camera language of this music video was majority of the time close-ups of the females faces so that indicates that the treatment of females are there faces also at 1:00 it has a man dressing as a female going into the men's bathroom and as well you wouldn't expect that sort of action to be happening. 


Intertextual

Inter textual is when the video represents a movie or a TV show
  I chose this music video because it references the film despicable me by including the characters, from the actual film another thing is that it would provide further gratification and pleasure to the viewers and fans because they would see some footage from the film and ,also you can replay the video again and again. Another thing is that at 0:04 it has the characters from the movie called despicable me so therefor it's referring to the film. 









Iconography

I chose this song because it's a good iconography because it has a style and element of mise en scene because the video has a lot of animation for example at 0:25 it has animation of the lyrics that ,are the artist is singing but at 0:27 it has the audiences hand and as well it matches the lyrics of mood and the action of the music and the video 
and it cuts to beat well for example at 1:02 it cuts to beat the lyrics are matching the action. A nothing is that the genre for this song is Hip-Hop.
This is a theory of Goodwin.


Star persona


Star persona is when the record company will make a request to have close-ups on the artist's face because the artist is the main focus because the artist is the image some times the artist has to put this image on but in reality there not like that or sometimes the artist may do a different song and the audience would be amazed because they wouldn't aspect that style from that artist.


I went for this song because it's a 
characteristic of star persona because at 0:06 it starts with the two artist that are smoking weed and the video is simple because all there doing is smoking and the video has females for example at 0:37 it has the close up of the females hand that has a cigarette and a lighter and this would shock the audience because they don't expect females to smoke weed. These five elements are the theory of Goodwin.

Good and Bad Music video techniques

large number of cuts

good
 I chose this video because it has a lot of cuts and it uses special effects for example at 0:47 it has a lot of cuts and it has a lot of special effects and they have used the cuts successfully but what the artist does is that he uses a large number of cuts but as well he uses graphics and special effect this connotes because his trying to make the song interesting. It has an impact on the viewer because it's an enjoyable video to watch because the artist has used a different variety of technique so it makes the video exciting to watch it has represents the artist because if you watch majority of his videos his videos use a lot of different techniques because he wants the audience to want to enjoy his videos.






Bad

In this video they do use a large number of cuts but they make it up for it by moving in various different places at 0:45 they don't use cuts but as well you can tell that it represents the artist because the artist produces music videos in that genre but it does have an impact on the audience because the video is funny because they are wearing costumes but they haven't used the technique successfully another thing is that the video is enjoyable to watch what the institution wanted to achieve was to make the video funny and this song is about people being lazy. In the video above the artist uses a lot of different techniques but in this one they stick to one technique.






special effects
In this video it uses a variety of effects and it adds the video in more depth also in this video it's successful because the artist is singing and the effects are going around him so it made the video more interesting. this video doesn't use graphics but at 0:09 it has the artist and they used effects where it looks like his on fire but at 1:40 they used a shadow effect and a blur effect so it would be a good video I chose this video because it's a good example for special effects.This connotes the artist because he used the effects effectively. It would have an impact on the audience because the video would be enjoyable to watch it will make an impact of the artist because his showing the audience what his all about and by him using special effects the audience will have an impression of that the artist can make the video more enjoyable to watch so therefor they would want to watch more of his videos .




bad 

In this video there is special effects but through out all the video it's just the same special effects but in different music videos they try to use the special effects in different ways. This video is old so therefore you can tell because at that time they didn't have a lot of idea of special effects at  0:12 of the music video to the very end the effects have been used in one format and it hasn't changed but from the audience watching this video they will have a negative view of the video and they will be bored instantly because there is no action and excitement to the video but in the video above it has an impact because there have used different effects and in both of these videos I think that they have a message behind the song but the video above is enjoyable but this video is enjoyable to watch because its the same effect the whole way through. 





cutting to the beat


good

I chose this video because it cuts to the beat really well for example at 1:18 the robot is matching to the beat and it makes it interesting because the lyrics are matching the beat but as well when you watch this video this video it would have an impact because its a good video and it connotes that the artist is creative and they use this cutting to the beat style because they want the audience to be entertained by what there watching it. In this video they use the technique successfully because they made it entertaining but as well the video  doesn't have negative attitude to it, therefore it would make the audience want to watch it also the institution used this technique because it's a new style and they wanted to make the video exciting. This song has an impact on the audience because when you watch this video you get a lot of excitement and it's good video to watch 




bad

I chose this song because it uses the technique well but it doesn't cut to the beat well for example at 0:23 it doesn't match the beat but the video is enjoyable to watch. What the artist wanted to achieve was to have a love and relationship feel to the song and he did it successfully also the video is entertaining to watch but there are some parts of the video were are not successful at 1:37 the action doesn't match the beat but if you compare these video together the the video above is successful because the it cuts to the beat well but in this song it cut to the beat sometime but majority of the time it doesn't 



varied camera language 


good

This video is good because of the different camera language and movement. I chose this music video because at 0:45 it has a pan to left to right and the camera is tracking the artist and the institution used  this technique successfully because at 1:50 they use another angle and this time it's a high angle and in this video it has a variety of angles and movement it also have an impact on the audience because it make the song more enjoyable because of the different camera language also it keeps the audience engaged with the video the institution went with this technique because to make the video more fun and enjoyable to watch and another thing is that it can represent the artist but in this video it has a message behind the video saying just have fun but be careful about your friends .





bad 


I chose video because it has a few camera language but at 0:49 it has the artist singing but there isn't a lot of action going on in the video     but it has an impact because it does use some camera language but majority of the time it's mid-shots and they haven't used the technique effectively  again at 0:54  more mid-shots in the video what the institution wanted to achieve was to make the video sad so that's why they used mid-shot so you can experience what there experiencing. Also they made the song in slow motion because it's supposed to be a sad song  it has a impact on the audience but it's not enjoyable to watch also it can represent the artist. For both of the video they use the technique good but the video above uses it well because has different type of angles and movements                                                                                                                                            



green screen


Good
 green screen is when the artist is stood on the green screen but when you edit it you can effects to the green screen. At 1:23 the artist uses the green screen effectively because you won't even notice that it's green screen but they use the technique successfully. This video will have an impact on the audience because the video is enjoyable and it's entertaining and they won't even notice that they have included green screen. it represents the artist because the artist is an artist that likes creating videos that have excitement to it. They used this effect because they wanted the audience to enjoy this music video.




bad 


 I chose this video because it uses the green screen not effectively because you can tell that they have used green screen for example at 0:27 the green screen has been used bad because the audience would instantly know that they have used green screen therefor the technique has been used unsuccessful because through out the video they use green screen but maybe the artist wanted to make it seem like they were there or maybe they wanted to make it funny. In the music video above they use the green screen well and you won't even notice that they have used it but in this video you can obviously tell that they used green screen.





Lip-synching

good



I chose this music video because it uses the technique successfully at 1:05 the music video has audience that are lip syncing to the actual song and the audience lip sync really well you might thing that its them that are singing but it's not them also it represents the artist because his making the video entertaining by using the audience to be featured in his music video as well there is a message behind the video and this message say that you should just be happy and enjoy life it has an impact on the viewer because it's an enjoyable video to watch.





bad


This music video has unsuccessful techniques such as the bad lip syncing at 0:42 it has bad lip syncing because the artists mouth is not in rhythm with the actual lyrics also it's not an enjoyable video to watch because there isn't a lot of action in the video and it's not entertaining but this can denote the artist because they can gain experience from this video but if you compare both videos the video above uses this technique well by using the audience because he had lip syncing in the video but in this video the artist doesn't use it well because it's an old video.

Styles Of Music

Animation
Animation is a style/convention that is a cartooned in a music video 
At 0:56 you can see that the artist is animated and performing the song with his band also this fits the style but it's not an ordinary music video at 4:43 there are other aliens that are coming to destroy there land but in this video it tells a story to it  but the reason why the institution do this is because it's a new style and they would want a story to be involved in the animation for example this video has a story to it. The institution will use that style/convention because it's new and it will have an impact on the audience because the audience would realize that the song is telling a story and then the audience would want to watch more of the video.


parody
 A parody is an artist that imitates an original music video and it would make no change meant's to the video but at 0:18 the artist in the same location as in the original version as you can see the artist re an act the original video by by being in the same location  and it's the same scenario and the reason why the institution do this because they would want to make the audience laugh and the the parody fits the style because at 2:36 it shows that the artist is in the same studio as in the original copy and it will have an impact to the audience because they would find it funny and for the institution they will probably get money but as well the artist would exaggerate some feature  scenes for example it would change the lyrics.





genre video

A genre music video is stereotypical of the type of music it's promoting.The video produced by 2pac fits the style because the conventions and style of the music has black people, he is rich and he has women and everything makes it of  that genre. At 0.22 the camera has a mid shot on 2pac and it shows the surrounding that he is in also he has girls with him so by the audience watching it they would know.However it has women that are wearing less clothes such as bikinis.The reason why the institution has set this style is because it would attract the audiences attention and the higher the audience figures the more money they would get and they will start to produce more music in that format. Another thing is that the music video has a mise en scene and the setting of the video is set in a mansion,automatically the audience would want to aspire to have that lifestyle.

In my own music video I would try to use a variety of techniques and costumes such as the gold chains, knuckle dusters,baseball caps worn the wrong way and the majority of the time they are by a swimming pool,half naked.I would use the soundtrack but i would probably put a beat to it so then it would be my own beat instead of copying of 2pac




performance

A performance in music terms means a theatrical piece in a music video before the song begins. This can involve actors and dialogue that is usually connected to the content of the music video itself.
At 0:17 the performance piece begins with the artist singing and playing the piano however it's not part of the actual music video, it only purpose is to create context for the rest of the video for example it's a party that no one is interested and his singing a not so good song but then he slams the piano down then he realizes that no one is paying attention so begins to sing the title song which implies that it is a better song. The institution created song because he wanted to appeal to the audience, because it gives the audience an impression of being fun loud, exciting. If I was to use this in my music video I would go for this sort of type because the audience will enjoy it.




Narrative

Narrative is when the song has a story line to the music video for example this music video has a story that explains at each point what is happening so the audience can follow what there doing in the video at 0:25 it shows a man being the narrator but his explaining a story to these three children.When the artist is rapping his words are synchronizing with the actions at 0:36 the artist is rapping but at 0:39 it skips scenes so there the action is matching words and the audience will music video because it's entertaining and it's a new style to the music industry because a lot of artist do that similar style but with this one it's explaining a story. For the institution they chose this style because it's unique and stands out from the other videos in the rap genre. For example videos from artist such as 2pac there videos are stereotypical e.g they had cars and women inside there videos. 


interpretive

interpretive is the visuals that match the lyrics. the key concept of this is that the artist is trying to make the audience laugh at 0: 50 there are three men that are trying to get a women by doing a weird walk which is called the Creep and in this video it shows that they are doing everything in there power to get women but in reality the women don't like it and they find it creepy, but the audience may find this video funny but as well disturbing because the video is strange but every movements and lyric match the visuals.
The institution did this because they wanted to try a new style and it's unique but as well  the institution will get money but the video might not have a lot of views but as well they want to get a point a cross to the audience. I would try to use this style/convention in my music video because. in my music I would like to make the lyrics of the song match the concept because then the audience will knew what they are looking at.


impressionist
Impressionist is a type of style/convention that more or less match the mood of the song for example in this music video at 0:03 the movements and the pace match the mood of the song.The audience will enjoy this because it new style and it takes a new direction of the genre of rap, not only the video is unique but it is also visually stimulating for the audience, because they can't predict what will happen next in the video. For the institution they would get money because the audience will see that's it's a new style, what the institution did was that they added animation in the music video because they wanted to make music video more fun and entertaining,at 1:59 what the institution did was that there's an animation of a DJ but in reality it was a pizza so what they were trying to is combine animation with reality and they did a really good job of it.


surreal/abstract
surreal/abstract is a style or convention that basically means that it's weird videos i chose this video because it was weird and different things happening at different times for example at 1:23 everybody is dressed up as weird characters, the whole video is confusing because it doesn't make sense and some of the audience may like the video or some of the audience will not like the video because it's confusing and but the the institution would want to promote this music video because it weird and not all of music is like this so they are bringing a new video to the plate by this being said is that they would get a lot of money because it would be shown on mainstream TV.The institution would probably be more consistent with this weird music videos so they will continue to make weird videos because if they don't stick to this the audience will probably be confused. another thing is that if some one was to post this on there social media there would probably be agreement or disagreements because music videos are not supposed to be weird but as well it's the style there going for so therefore they would have to be more consistent with this sort or weird videos. 


pastiche/homage
pastiche/homage means that it's a copy of the original film for example Kanye West music video is referring to a Japanese anime called Akira this is exactly the same to the anime itself. The intertextual refers to the film but what this video does is that it uses clips from the anime and the video roughly has the same camera language as the anime because at 0:16 is shows that Kanye west is in the lab by himself and in the anime the character is in the lab by himself so already you know that its the same.Another thing is that Homage means what influenced the artist to copy that film or as in the case of Kanye West he decided to copy an anime.
The institution will get money because Kanye west is a huge artist and by him releasing this video maybe the audience would want to watch the anime because what Kanye did was he combined the video to the anime and this can make the audience want to share it on there social media also it doesn't have bad language or bad behavior. 


referencing

referencing is a style or convention that would use the same setting and the same soundtrack that would include some footage from the movie as well in this video Men In Black the song produced by Will Smith that includes the footage from the movie the institution will earn a lot of money because the intextual refers to a film. The disadvantage of this is that they would not be able to perform this live because they won't have the same set and it would not be able show the footage of the film. an advantage of this is that they would want to watch the film because this music video because it has footage from the actual movie so the audience would want to watch it to see what its about. it's like a book because with books there's a blurb and in this video it's a bit like a blurb except you can see the movie whenever you want,this is good for the institution because it's not stereotypical.


genre subverting video

Genre subverting videos is a type of video  that suggest that you should not follow the rules and it's going against the convention. I chose this song because it going against the rules.But at 1:20 the artist are in a thrift shop and they are stealing clothes and they are wearing it. At 1:26 the artist is wearing a Christmas jumper so you already know that it's going against the convention because you wouldn't picture a rapper with a Christmas jumper so definitely it would't be cool. Another thing is that the setting is not an average setting for a rapper there are normally in a house or a night club but in this video the artist is in a thrift shop and this video is not your average video. it's good for the institution because they are not being stereotypical and it's unique.

The Purpose Of Music Video

promote

The reason why artist release music videos is because it's for some artist to promote there music so there audience can see how they are in reality instead of just hearing there voice. In this song stromae does something unusual where he is mannequin and then he comes to life then it explains that the kid on the left is looking for his dad, after this video he was well known and the positive is that music video was his first song and after this song went huge. also the audience will probably buy the album. another thing is that the institution will make a lot of money because the video would be shown on television and the artist will get money along side with his company. The other thing is that they would want to get there voice here for example stromae the artist  I chose 


synergy

Synergy is when the artists song is played over the movie and you can see a bit of the artist an example is Men In Black and in this music video you can see the artist but as well it shows you the movie and this can benefit the record label because it could be featured in a trailer also it would show scenes from the movie and the institution will make money from the music video and the movie 
and from this the audience will expand.The advantage of synergy is that from the artist being involved in the movie it would make the audience want to watch the movie but also the movie would be shown in the cinemas and the movie will include the soundtrack by that artist but the disadvantage is that not a lot of audience would not want to watch because of the movie of there choice and a positive factor is that the artist can get income and money because he was featured in the video.



visual representation 


The reason why artists produce music videos because they want the audience to visualize how they look like in person and it can represent the artist and it can explain how they became a music artist I've chose this video because it tells a story about how he met a girl and he would want to go on a date with this girl and it's in a dance hall and that's how they met up the institution will make a lot of money and it will represent the artist and the audience will like it because the song is classy the audience will share the video on there social media accounts and that's how you can found out about music videos the whole purpose of making music videos is because they want the audience to see how they look like in person not just listening to them.



Art
This song is very artistic because it uses a variety of images and the images move by it self so it looks like it being drawn on the two artist and the institution will gain a lot of money from this music video because it's very artistic but the video itself is quite strange because it has two people and the drawing is automatically coming onto there bodies. Also art is good in music video because you would not just want to visualize the artist it self you would want some formality of art and by art being in the video the audience can see that it can set the mood of the artist or it would just look nice. The positive impact would be that the institution can show on television and they would get advertisement so it will mean that they will gain more income and money.




Extended play ability

Extended play ability is when a video it watched for an amount of time or it can jut be replayed for a long period of time.
I chose Gangnam style because it was the most watch video across the world because he was an unsigned artist and by him releasing this song he had a lot of views and he made a lot of money if the video is watched an amount of time that means that the institution will earn a huge amount of money for example  Psy he earned a lot of money from releasing that video and it was shown on the television around the world. Psy made the video because he wanted to produce something new and by that video he was recognized by a lot of the audience and this video did represent Psy because his new and his crazy with his video and that's what a lot of people liked and it was even on the radio.

Evaluating Music Video Outlet


Social Media

Social media is a growing franchise that allows the audience to share various multimedia, some popular examples of social media are Facebook, and Twitter, these website allows the public to share their information out to the viewers. One way social media benefits the institution is that when they put up their music video  they can get comments on their music from the public. This is an advantage for the record label because when they upload their music  video on Facebook or Twitter they don’t have to pay to put them on there but the artist doesn't upload their music video because they’re always busy and their main focus is releasing their new single. These social websites are more for the artist to reach to a wider public. If the people see the good comment’s the public will buy their single or album. They also have the advantage to share, re-post and comment which could benefit as they could reach an audience which may not be able to be reached elsewhere.
There are disadvantages from social media because the institution doesn't get paid for this. An advantage for the distributor such as Facebook, is keeping their users by having this facility.





Mainstream TV

There are a variety of channels but the main ones are BBC One, ITV 1, ITV 2, Channel 4, Channel 5 and SKY 1, majority of artists show there music video on these channels because it will allow the audience to see it. Mainstream is an advantage because it allows them to advertise the music video on the national bases. Another advantage of mainstream TV is that the TV Company has to pay the artists record label and they have to make an agreement. One possible disadvantage is that the, content that they show can cause conflict because the video may not be suitable for example Blurred Lines this specific song got taken down because it offended viewers it. Other disadvantages of mainstream TV is that the music is not available on demand like it on the internet for example you can play and replay video on sound cloud,but music on TV are on at certain times so therefor it has a set time and day but you can see it on the internet when you want. Mainstream TV has weakness for example you cannot socialize with people and interact with them also there is no search engine to type in and you cannot find information about things. Another benefit is that they might reach broader audience who may have not known about the single, video or artist.





Artist Website

The reason why music artist get their website created is because it’s an efficient way to interact with their fans also it will be their own style ,and it will be unique. Another thing is that the artist can give information about when there new single/album coming out and you can buy their content. The fans can communicate with the artist via posting blogs or commenting on their album. The website doesn't have an age rate but it would normally be aimed for teenagers or adults because that’s what the general public like so the website will have a fan base section.
The website would have a search engine so it would be a quicker way for the public to find information about the artist. Products will be made so it will be sold to the public also it has a Facebook so the public can instantly go and view that music artist on their Facebook the artist and it’s team will have an investment from making the website and they will earn money because people will be buy their content
The disadvantages is that the website is only aimed at a specific group (music) and the way the webpage is laid out or the color maybe to bright or to dark and the website would not be viewed in a Mainstream TV. Here is an example of an artist website 





legal and illegal downloading 

 Music  videos can be downloaded in two different format one is called legal downloading and the other is called illegal downloading. Legal downloading is when you can download music of from Spotify but you have to pay for these music but the organisation gives the audience a nice HD and clean sound and Spotify is 100% reliable also Spotify is safe. There is some bad things about legally downloading music the first one is that there is one website that is 100% reliable and that website called Spotify, also when you make a purchase on Spotify the artist get money out of the audience buying there song and album.
Illegal downloading is bad because a lot of public work for the music industry and these audience  work hard to push music forward however it’s not free because it the artist that lists it and the audience buy it, but the public steal the music for free because they say that it’s easy to download without a cost but as well it’s an criminal offence to steal an artist music without permission also you the consumer is putting yourself in danger. Those who steal the music and upload it onto the website and the audience come and steal it the person who uploaded it in the first place are harming the music industry and you don’t have an outcome of how they got that music and how they uploaded but with Spotify it’s safe, you have to pay and it doesn't leave viruses on any device. An advantage of this can be that it could be beneficial to the institution and distributer. A disadvantage is that it can reduce sales from people buying CD’s when they can just download it for free on the internet

Music Channels

 A music channel is a channel that only plays a specific genre and it allows the audience to watch there favorite music video but for that to happen the institution has to make an agreement to show it live to the public also the institution , will make money from the music video  being shown on a music channel. Advantages from this that is's easy to keep up to date up because they show it continuously and you can view the content for free and you don't have to download anything also you can rewind and pause it for free, an disadvantage is that majority of the audience might not have the music channel however the song you like might not be shown on the TV it's up to the TV to decide however.The institution will get paid because they will show the video on TV and the music video will reach a wider audience and they will have to censor the bad language and they would be a lot of adverts that will be shown on the TV and the songs don't last for a long time.




Streaming website (YouTube)

A streaming website is a site were you can watch any type of genre such as music video and you can listen to music and also it's free and you don't need to download any content. An example of a streaming website would be YouTube or  BBC iPlayer these website allow you to watch music videos and it streams the video in different quality's, an example is that it can be a low quality, medium quality and a high quality, you can view these music videos on your mobile phone,what YouTube does is that it allows you to upload a content by individuals also you can share it with the audience however for the audience the advantage of YouTube is that there are different types of categories this makes the audience aware that they can go to any section they want but if a music fan want to watch a music video and the video has bad language the viewer would not be able to watch it because they would need to 18 to view the video or it would be taken down an example would be Blurred lines this music video got taken down of YouTube because it used bad language and the video did not suggest good behavior, For the institution YouTube is good because for an unsigned artist can get recognized by his/her talent and the institution can make money from them but  an example would be Justin Bieber when the song Boyfriend was released the video went viral and he made $8 million views of the video under 24 hours and Justin Bieber gained more than 17 million streams from under a week according to MTV. A disadvantage is that a video can get taken down or it could be censored and maybe the video can obtain violence in the music video another thing is that the video may have legal or copyright issues. Another example would be gangnam style because he released a music video of his new song and instantly he got a lot of views and for the institution they have gained a lot of money because a lot of people have watched his videos and he got paid a lot.





Direct CD/Special Edition CD/DVD releases

Artist release CD and DVD because they want there fans to keep there album and also it's tangible and it's easy to find on the other hand there is an advantage because  you can see the artists music video in depth and how they became successful also you can get special features on the DVD such as backstage. it's a montage of songs that they have combined to put into one CD or DVD that shows all there music videos but the disadvantage for the audience is that they could require a CD player so they can see the video or a DVD player and if there's a scratch on the CD or DVD you can't get a refund because it will be in the audiences care. How ever for the institution it would be expensive to manufacture the CD but they will make a lot of profit but if you were to download it on the internet it will cost less. But the disadvantage for the institution will be that a lot of audience will prefer to download it digital instead of physically going to a shop to buy the CD or DVD.
