BBC interview research

What is your favourite interview and why? 
My favourite interview is the frost interview with Mohammed Ali. This is because Mohammed Ali adds a sense of humour to the interview and the way he talks about his life and boxing career is very interesting. 

What is your least favourite interview and why?
My least favourite interview is the interview with Tony Blair, the reason for this is because  i found it very boring and i wasn't interested in the subject at hand. As well as this, I find Tony blair a boring individual. 

What is the best question out of all the interviews you watched and why?

The best question the interviewer asked Mohammed Ali was whats the difference between Allah and the God i believe in? This is not because I am a religious person, it is because Mohammed Ali went in to great detail when answering this question and it shows his passion and love for his religion. 

And the worst?

I didn't think that there were any bad questions, mainly because of the way Mohammed Ali answers the questions. he goes into a lot of detail in every answer making it funny and amusing. 

What is the funniest response? What question prompted it?

The funniest response is when Mohammed Ali repeats his famous speech about how great he is, when he says "I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick I'm so mean i make medicine sick". I found this funny because there was no need for such a lengthy answer yet he still said it. 

What is the most emotional response? What question prompted it?
The most emotional response to a question is when Ali gets asked The difference between Allah and christian God. This is because he goes into a lot of detail explaining about Allah. This shows how passionate he is about his religion.

Who is your favourite interviewer? Why?

My favourite interviewer is the frost interviews, this is because he asks the best questions and these questions then lead on to detailed answers from the interviewees. 


Other interesting things you have found.
I found that even though the interview questions are roughly the same, the way in which the interviewees answer them is very different. this shows the difference in personality from Mohammed Ali to Tony Blair.

purpose of music videos

In the old times of music, music videos were used to sell the artist, where as now days every song in the charts has a video. 

purpose of a music video 

To sell song 
To give the audience a better understanding of the song and they lyrics 
To entertain and show off the artists talent and entertain an audience and views 
To sell cd's, dvds and downloads 
A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. 

When artists make music videos there are many ways in which they can sell there song to make it more successful. The most important way of doing this is by promoting the song that they have created. promotional is advertising something. The artists goal is to: sell the song, and invoke a reaction so that the audience remember the song, to give the audience a better understanding of the song, to entertain and show off their talents, to sell CDs, DVDs and downloads by creating memorable visuals and market the purposes of exposure and expansion of the their profile. When artists promote a music video for a song it in turn promotes their album increasing the income the artist and the record company gets. When the artist promotes their song they are also promoting their self as an artist which can lead to greater opportunities for the artist such as possible collaboration opportunities with other artists. An example of this is Psy. He promoted Gangnam style so well that it LED him to possible collaboration opper 
tunities with other artists e.g. Justin Bieber. A music video is also used to sell the brand image of the artist or band. 

Their are many types of music video and they are used in different ways, for example to show case the talent of the artist in terms of playing an instrument or they're dancing ability. 


The music video "sing" by Ed sheeran and Pharrell williams is a very basic video, in terms of only having a coloured background and having the artists preform in front of it, to show case they're talent.
