BFI (British Film Institute)

Today we went to the BFI Southbank, Waterloo and were given tips on making music videos. The session started off with us going back in history and learning about the history of music videos and how they have changed now. This gave us a lot of insight on previous music videos and what makes them so different to current types of music videos. It also allowed us to see what styles we could adapt to our music videos.

Below is the presentation that we were shown which also includes examples of old music videos:
