Although a promotional video had not been planned for "Flashdance... What a Feeling", "Flashdance" distributor Paramount Pictures had the director Adrian Lyne compile clips exclusively from the film to create a music video for the song when the movie became a surprise hit in the spring of 1983. Cara did appear in the other two videos created for songs on "What a Feelin", "Why Me?" and "The Dream". Both were directed and edited by Doug Dowdle and produced by Jeffrey Abelson.
