Music videos are created to make more money for the singers and the record makers. As for example the song 'Take on me by A-ha' was releaser before without a video and it disappeared without a trace. Later on, Steve Barron, one of the top video maker in the 1985 made the video for the song and released it again and it earned a lot of money in a short time. This was because everyone wanted to see the video and they would buy their songs and watch the video.
Sinead O. Connor - Nothing compares 2U (1990)
Sinead was an unknown artist at the time. Her video was shot on close ups of her face where she showed a lot of emotion. The song was meant to be for a sad lover but because Sineads mother had died not long ago, there is a part in the video where two tears roll down on each of her cheeks which makes the video more original and emotional. Also there are few other shots of the place called 'Parc de Saint-Cloud' which John Maybury, the video maker said 'I wish I didn't have to add them in'. This was said because the shots of her face have been so good and original that there was no need for anything else but because they had payed a good amount of money to shoot in that place they could not just leave it out.
