Evaluation Music Video Outlets

There are many outlets that music videos are shown in, this is because the music video would be shown to as many viewers as possible so that then the song will be well known and popular. The purpose of a music video is to To give the listener a better understanding of the song and also to entertain the listener.

Downloads
The downloads is a good way listen to your favorite music for free and to put it in your phone without the trouble  of buying it. Most people in now-a-days download the songs free instead of buying the album but it is illegal. people download songs because it is an easier was to carry it around without having to carry the CD and you could also import the song into any devices. the down side to downloading songs off the Internet is that the artist wont get as much amount of money that the artist should get because not a lot of people are buying the official album from the artist because most people are downloading the songs illegally off of the Internet.















 Artist website
the artist website is when the artist posts their song video and they could also post extra videos such as being in backstage of the music video or a concert. the artist could also promote the song. the artist could also talk about what the song is such as what its about and why they like it. in the artist website you will get many more exclusive videos then just the official music video. the people that will go on the artist website are people that is a huge fan of the artist. However, for the artst website is that not all artiist has webites, only the more known and popular artists has websites. the less known artists wouldnt be able to afford an artist website even if they were better then the main artist these days. so becasue of that, the less know artists cant get their songs across to the world.



 Mainstream TV
mainstream TV is one of the best ways for the artist to put out their song and to advertise their song because there are many people who watches mainstream TV and the song will be seen by everyone. this is a great way to make the music and album become popular as everyone will know about the album and it will quickly spread around the world. the down side of this is that it cost a huge amount of money to get the song in he mainstream channel so only the rich artist such as Rhianna would be able to pay the mainstream TV to advertise their song, but apart from that, the song will become a big success if it will be in the mainstream channel. the less well know artist would not be able to afford to put their song on a mainstream channel and this is a big disadvantage because they could be better then the others. by having the artist song in a mainstream channel, they will make a huge amount of money because the song will be everywhere and the artist will get money every time the song is shown. mainstream is more for the artist that are more well known and for those that are wealthy and could afford to put their song in a mainstream channel. Music channels is easy to access and it is on 24/7 another advantage would be that there are constant advertisements to promote the video. however you have to pay for the TV license, they do not show the whole video and this could mean you would have to buy a CD or go online to find the music video which takes time.



Streaming
streaming is a a great way to release your song because there will be millions of people watching it live in a streaming website. YouTube is now one of the most popular, well known and well used websites. YouTube is used by millions around the world so streaming the artist song in YouTube is another great way of spreading the song. one of the great uses of YouTube and why it is very successful is because it links with other social networking such as Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr which could be an easy access to YouTube. there are also many company's and brands that advertise their product or brand on YouTube which would give YouTube more money and the Company more audience.  

Music Channel
music channels are also a one of the best ways to get the artist song noticed. usually on the music channels, why make a top 50 and this will show if the people likes the artist's music video but in order to be on the top 50, there are many challenges which is to make the music video up to date and more modern. but once again, only the will know artist will have a high change of being in the top 50 because there are already millions of people following them and is always up to date about them. the least popular artist will have not much of a change to the superstars. the only way for the artist to end on on the top 50 is to have a unique music video such as Gangnam Style. An advantage for the music channel is that it is open to a wide variety of music genres for example, there are different channels for different genres of music. this would be extremely useful to the audience because everyone has a different taste in music and having a wide range of music channels can help the viewer to listen to the music they would want to listen to. one of the down side to music channels is that each time the channel shows three to four songs then have advertisement for five minutes and that could be frustrating for the viewer and could make then turn the channel.








Direct CD/special edition CD/DVD releases
this is sold in many stores and because it is the official CD/DVD, it could include special and exclusive video from the artist, such as an interview  or backstage during the filming. only the people who are a huge fan of the artist buys it and it helps the artist gain money and it also helps the music video becomes a success. most other people  downloads the song on the internet nowadays because it is free and can also transfer the song to any device. but then the artist will not get as much as money they should get but that is one of the down sides of the CD/DVD because you have to carry it everywhere around with you. the CD/DVD has many more editions not to try to get people to buy the album such as a signed autograph because you wont get that no where else. what i think about the CD/DVD is that its good but now everyone downloads songs on the intent so then the artist is wasting most of their money on making copies of their albums.
