17:00 | Apple Store | THE FUTURE OF MUSIC VIDEO
Hosted by Radar Music Videos
Exciting things are happening in the world of music videos. For starters, there are more bands around and nearly all of them needs or wants a music video. However, with labels working harder to make ends meet and less money being spent on most bands now, you can be sure music video directors are not making any kind of living from making music videos.
But we’re about to enter the era of connected TV, when our living room/bedroom/kitchen screens will also broadcast from the internet. Music videos are already one of the most popular forms of content on the internet and platforms such as Spotify have proven people can put up with advertising alongside their music consumption.
Are music videos about to become an important source of revenue for labels and artists – and maybe even music video directors? Caroline Bottomley from Radar Music Videos will be talking to the new distributors and content platforms, looking at what they are already bringing to the table and what the future holds for the music video.
Panellists including Jon Pike (Head of Music atVidzone), Richard Wheeler (Head of Music and Content Aquisition at VirginMedia) and Ciaran Bollard (CEO, MuzuTV) will be answering the following questions:
How important is music video on their platform – what prominence does it have?
Who is their market? – who is their competition?
Do rights owners earn from the promotion?
What are their objectives in regards to music video?
What is their selection process?
How do people get their music videos to them if relevant?
Where do they think the future of music video promo lies?
