A lot of film makers rely on new artists to produce music so that music videos will be available to make. This earns them a lot of money, and does increase depending on how popular the music video is. A music video will normally give the audience an incentive to go and see the band live, which is a good promotion for an artist because it gets them known as well as the extension of income in regards to concerts and festival line-ups. The sales of an album will increase with various music videos online, which extends the income as well. When a music video is made, there are a few people who get a deal with the income; the production company, the artist and the broadcast companies. Everyone will get a percentage deal. The fees are normally repeated once other forms of media start promoting it e.g. TV and radio stations.
Example:
Michael Jackson's "Thriller" took over $500 million in sales and it must have been bumped up because of the incredibly popular music video. Michael Jackson banked over $120 million. When it first aired on Top Of The Pops it was played several times in the first evening.
