Product Placement

Since MTV launching the first ever music video channel, music videos are slowly becoming popular and some may say, more important than the song itself. There are lots of channels on the television that are based fully on music videos now - whereas in the past there were only certain shows that would show a couple of music videos in the charts, for example: Top of the Pops.
However not only can people watch music videos on the telly - but on ther internet as well. Websites, to name a few, like, YouTube, Yahoo! Music and VH1.com host music videos that anyone can watch online at any time from the comfort of their own home.
Futhermore people can now download music videos as well as download music. This again enables them to watch the music video on their MP3 player or phone anywhere they want.
These are all great ways of selling music but as I have mentioned before, companies are worrying that songs are loosing there importance to music videos.
For our own music video we would expect it to go on well known music video channels but not mainsteam ones like MTV or TMF. Video channels like E4 music would definately play our song as they play independent and up and coming music just like our song.
