Types of Music Video

There are three main types of music video Performance based video, narrative Based Videos and Concept Videos.

Performance videos are videos which show the band playing and only feature the band. These are very good videos if you are under a tight budget and you usually see these types of videos in older bands such as Queen, this is just one example of many I could have chosen, the video linked below is Don’t Stop Me Know by Queen.

Narrative based videos are used to tell a story which generally involves actors and the underlying lyrics fit with what’s being seen. Generally songs with these sorts of music videos will be in films and have links to the films. A video which is a narrative based video could be Parklife by Blur which is linked below

Concept videos I believe are the most interesting out of the different types of videos. Concept videos are generally really weird and bizarre and are usually edited together with a set style or or filmed in a certain way. The closet video I believe which links truly to this is a song by Tool call Stinkfist which is linked below
