The first music video I will be discussing is by Musical Youth which where one of the first all black band which portrayed coloured people as being talented and just like everyone else and they where actually the first coloured people to be shown on MTV. It was a new revelation for coloured people and this demonstrated that they are accepted in society through the love of good music. Another music video which has a major impact is by Bronski Beat called Small Town Boy which shows a homosexual man which gets attacked for being the way he is and all the things he has to face. Another important thing to note down was that it had no lip syncing which many videos don't do. Another interesting music video was by So Solid Crew which was conducted in an unusal way. each member of the band had 21 seconds to introduce themselves as it was their first single. However they where all cloloured which meant that they weren't going to have it easy as they got the bad press for being outragously bad. The 1967 We Love You by the Rolling Stones was produced in a documentary type which showed the lives of the group members. It showed them having drugs and showing the real artist an not something just for show. Herby Hancock's song Rokit ws one of the first songs which was played on the MTV channel by a black artist. This was a begining of something new for all coloured artist as things were looking up for them. Finally the last song that i looked at today was the Pet Shop Boys song Go West which took a new demension on music videos. It used a computer graphic style which was a more commercial art. Greenhalge which was the director of the video said that this allows directors a lot more freedom to experiment ideas.
