Record Label Research

In order to develop a deeper understanding of music videos and why they are made, it is important to have some knowledge of record labels.

You will need to do a case study of 3 different labels and consider the following:

• When they were founded
• Where they are based
• What companies (if any) they are affiliated with/owned by
• Artists and successes that they have had
• Any other relevant/interesting information

It would be an advantage to look at a variety of record labels in terms of size and music genres, and this will allow you to consider what kind of label may be releasing your artist's work- so, perhaps look at Syco Music and Warp Records.

You should ensure that at least one of your record label case studies specialises in your chosen genre.
