Research: Media Institutions

Media Institution

What are media institutions:

Music video institutions are companies who help produce and fund music videos for their signed artists. There are three leading institutions who have been doing this for many years.

Four leading institutions:


EMI is one of the worlds leading music companies. It has international institutions and they are the owners of record labels such as angels, astralwerks, blue note, capitol, capitol Latin and many more. This shows that the EMI institution has a diverse range of labels and artists.

Universal:

Universal is the largest music content company. Universal as a music business they discover and develop recording artists and then markets and promotes their music across a wide array of formats and platforms. Universal nurture their artist not like other institutions where the artist is used until their appeal and popularity is at its peak.

Conclusion:

In conclusion I would chose a pop genre for my music video and I will chose the universal media institution to distribute my video as they are an institution who nurture their artist and help them develop rather than using them for the fame while it lasts.
