Over the last 10 years technology has advanced so much, which allows many industries that use technology to advance for example, the music industry. The music industry uses technology for everything from recording the song to playing it on the radio. With all these factors of the music industry advancing, one of the biggest things that has advanced in a great way is music videos. Music videos are a commercial videotape featuring a performance of a popular song, often through a stylized dramatization by the performers with lip-synching and special effects. As you can read, special effects are used in these videos. Special effects are one of the biggest things that have advanced in technology today. I wanted to post some of my favorite music videos of today that have amazing special effects. Some artists that always make great music videos in my opinion are Taylor Swift, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Jack and Jack, Katy Perry and Shawn Mendes.
