music channels
A music channel is a channel that specialists in music videos, it a channel that will show 90% of the time music videos. One example of a music video that is shown on a music channel is called "Drake the song forever". The reason why I chose this song is because it quite a popular song that is shown on the program. One example of channel that specialists in music videos is called VIVA. VIVA is a channel that shows lot of genres of music videos and styles of music videos. VIVA are in terms good because it is the one of the channels that is on freeview. If we were able to watch more music channels teenagers will be feeling a lot more better because there a lot more variety of music video that we want also the teenagers would not have to wait so long for there favorite song to come. I also believe that the institution VIVA will feel very tired as they will have to put songs throughout of the days for a while and therefore not many people watch music channels that are in freeview.
Direct CD/special edition CD/DVD releases.
Direct CD/ Special edition CD/DVD release is type of release that is very special and the reason it exist is because the artist wants to persuade the audience to buy this product rather than one single album. You have a collection of the same song from different album but instead all of the latest songs are merged together in one single CD/DVD promote the product for the better. this good for the artist as they can earn more money. This will therefore allow the artist to get some funding back. There are companies that does sell special edition CD and DVD but however you will have to get those online. One example would be Amazon. The reason why I chose Amazon is because the company practically sells everything. The artist can ask Amazon to sell their music album. One example special edition album that they are selling is called Michael Jackson's This Is It [2 Disc Collector's Edition] [DVD] [2010]. This great for the people who like special edition DVD because it means that the audience do not have to download the song. However the problem is that the industry will loose money because of a pirate copy that the audience use to buy sometimes. The good thing for the industry is that they will get more money as they are more expensive to buy and basically the audience will have to pay more.
streaming website
from the website. YouTube has lots of varieties of music video because the artist are the one that sent it. It also artist the users to download their short video and also to show it to the whole world. It also allow companies to show music videos. YouTube is a free website, it allow the artist to say their thoughts, though some user will bully another user work because they their music video was rubbish. Sometimes the artist gives a price to watch the videos in YouTube so that they can earn some money. this good for the artist as they will get some money back. This will therefore make the audience have to wait for longer to see free videos. Also the huge problem is that streaming can be bad quality and videos are restricted in certain countries. The music institution can lose money as it is free to put up video online in YouTube.
artist website
An artist website is basically a website that the artist have made themselves. The reason why the artist has made their website is to promote their song and their webpage. This great for the audience that like the artist website because the audience will get more information about the artist such as their hobbies, interest and maybe their email if people want to have a chat with him. the good thing for the artist is that they get can get lots of views. However they would not give information about the artist secret. This good for artist as they can keep their identity. One example would be http://rihannadaily.com/ and the reason why is because it shows the artist full music video and it illustrates better quality of the video. Also the artist Rhianna shows her link towards to her YouTube account. This therefore will make the audience really know her true account for YouTube rather than a person who just impersonate as her. This is good because it will allow the artist to know popular she is. This is also good for audience because they can give their thought about her songs overall.
download legal and illegal
Download legally or download illegally relates to the audience. Download mean something that you can keep in you data, in a way it is a file that you can transfer either from website or apps that is on phones onto a computer or your personal phones. Some people will choose to download songs legally even though you will have to pay for it. The good thing for the artist is that they can get money. One example would be Spotify because most song cost money if you want to download their songs. https://www.spotify.com/. However some people would rather download songs illegally because they cannot bother downloading the song and paying for it as one off. the bad thing for the artist is that they can lose money. One example of would be Pirate Bay and video grabby. This is hugely scary for the industry as they do not want to loose money but often they do because the audience from the website like to download thing for free.
