Influential Music Video - Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen


Bohemian Rhapsody had a huge impact on the music industry as it was the first music video to be recorded on video. It also used new editing methods for the time of it release and used high tech special effects.

The new methods of editing helped audience members engage themselves and not just listen to the music as they did before. This music video was something that had never been seen before since it used hardware that was expensive and high tech.

Bohemian Rhapsody also was the start of proper video recording therefore it was of a good quality that audiences had not seen widely before, this was due to the fact the tech was expensive and since Queen were already well known they were able to afford this.

This music video inspired other artists to record using proper video for their music and therefore as a result started the trend. After a number of artists started to follow the trend have a music video with a song become a general aspect of music. During the modern age music videos are expected when a new single is released.

Bohemian Rhapsody music video was directed by a professional director called “Bruce Gowers”. Since it was designed by a professional director it was production standard and therefore was of a good quality. It was also produced by Roy Thomas Baker who was a professional producer. Due to the professional team production team that worked on the video it was produced at the highest quality possible. Due to this Bohemian Rhapsody has become iconic in the music industry and is said to be one of the greatest music/music videos ever created.
