TYPES AND STYLES OF MUSIC VIDEOS
•Performance based
•Narrative based
•Concept based
Types of Music Videos:
Narrative based music videos
Narrative based music videos attempt to tell a story that features in the lyrics or that is suggested in the lyrics and then dramatized in the video itself.
Narrative based music videos often establish a clear relationship between the lyrics and the visuals of the song.
Either the actors are acting according to the story or the music artists are performing.
Narrative based music videos require the viewer to understand the lyrics of the song clearly and these types of music videos are easily understood and enjoyed by the audience.
Examples of Narrative based music videos You Belong With Me by TAYLOR SWIFT
The Hearts Wants What It Wants by SELENA GOMEZ
Last Friday Night by KATY PERRY
Perfomance based music videos
Performance based music videos are only, or mostly, the artist/band performing their song.
These include dancing, lip syncing, live concerts or musicians playing music instruments.
Performance based music videos mostly build a relationship with the audience to show off the star identity.
These videos don’t have any specific message for the audience or there is no concept or idea behind the song or the video.
There is no connection between the lyrics of the song, as we can just see well dressed artists performing on their song.
Examples of Performance based music videos
Fix You by
COLDPLAY
This Summer’s Gonna Hurt by MAROON 5
Single Ladies by BEYONCE
Concept based music videos
Concept based music videos are based on a specific concept or a theme.
The concept can be magic, supernatural, historical, religious, scientific or any other idea which is based on a concept or a theme.
Mostly concept based videos intrigue a specific class or target audience, according to the idea of the music video.
The unusual content of the video is what attracts most of the people.
Examples of concept based music videos
Take Me To Church by Hozier Elastic Heart by SIA
Paradise by COLDPLAY

ANIMATION
INTERPRETIVE
IMPRESSIONIST
INTER TEXTUALITY
SURREALIST
ALLUSION
Animation
Animated music videos have an animated film, or cartoons, with the soundtrack playing in the background.
These videos usually don’t have anything real to show to the viewer, even though the song is produced by the original artist.
The animations in the videos are designed by using different softwares and these music videos are usually cheap as they are entirely digital.
For example, Rude Boy by Rihanna
Interpretive Interpretive music videos can be
interpreted by the audience in many ways.
Each person can see this video in a different way and understand a different meaning according to their mentality.
Impressionist An impressionist music video can be
used to show a particular theme to the audience.
It includes random and peculiar shots and images to express the theme of the video.
Abstract features are mostly used in an impressionist music video.
For example, Girl from Mars by Ash
Intertextuality References used from some other
media product, some mythology, history, or any other existing thing is taken and shown in this type of music video.
For example, Dark Horse by Katy Perry
Surrealist Similar to impressionist music videos,
surrealist music videos are very abstract and may not have a relation with the music itself.
A surreal music video contains artificial, unreal or supersticious elements in it.
A surrealist music video gives a very dream-like effect to the audience.
For example, ET by Katy Perry
Allusion It is similar to intertextuality to some
extent. An allusion music video gives reference
of another thing sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly.
It depends on how the audience see the video, how they make a connection between the video and other similar things they have seen before.
For example, Avril Lavigne’s Rock n Roll
