Music video is a popular form worldwide. It is a teachable and accessible topic because the videos are familiar to students, easy to get hold of and short. And because it is always changing, it makes an exciting and vibrant media form to study and analyse, raising interesting questions about representations, media language, institutions and audiences - the four key concepts of Media Studies. It has also had considerable influence formally and stylistically upon a range of other media and cultural artefacts globally.
