The Beatles Help! (Original 1965 Promotional Video)

This is a music Video from the 60s of the Beatles song Help.This is to start off with is different to the 50s song for example the quality of the camera has improved since the technology has improved in 10 years. Also what also has happened is that In the 60s they started to do videos with the miming into the camera as if they were performing the songs live  instead of the whole dancing scene that was there in the elvis video of course some aspects were there in that era aswell but now the mail thing that artists did was performing into the video.



At the start of the video You see the Beatles in a long shot sitting down on a bench at one angle Then at the second time the word Help is said The camera angle changes to a close up at  the front of the bench then after the word is said again the angle changes  to a long shot at the other side of the bench which is timed well to the song. This at the time was probably a big effective idea whereas in the modern days anyone could do that on windows movie maker.
As the song goes on you see different medium shots and a different long shot plus two more close ups that follow the band up and  down the bench. also you find cuts of the close up at the start of the video
throughout the music video

These ideas in this video are basic compared to the videos you would find today for example for this video by Jessie J this also has kind of the same setting (in a studio) and it has a range of shots but the difference is that It has many more cuts and effects on the video and the way its done makes the video look more active.
But you can see how the basic techniques  from the Beatles video have pretty much grown into what has become in the Jessie J video.
