Music Genre and Music Video Research

Types of music videos:

To start off my A2 media i am looking at different genres and artists from each genre. I am mainly focusing on the music videos linked to the songs, generally the music videos follow the story of the song but is interpreted by the artists ideas and individuality.


Narrative- a video consisting mainly of the story line relating to the lyrics and genre of the song.


Performance based video- feature the band/artist performing to the camera/audience, this is a popular type of video used by rock bands and artists. A good example of this would be the music video by 30 Seconds to Mars-Closer to the edge



Concept Based videos- these videos are unusual as they are based around one idea and often concentrate on something specific like an editing technique.
