 STYLES OF MUSIC.

In today blog post am going to explain the different type of music video and why they are used.

Narrative Based

A song with a narrative based music video the song includes a narrative story of the lyrics/ words being acted out in some way. This style relies on imagery to produce a story for the audience to follow and some narrative videos include clips from films that the song has been featured in. This seems to be used a lot in slower songs, and often tend to be love stories.  in this case this Fred Hammond video explain a young girls life suffering from cancer and how it has an effect on her.

This is also another narrative  music video.

Performance Based
Performance based music video shows  the band or artist performing.  Although the artist or band doesn’t have to move and dance, if they are singing or playing the instrument , than music video is performance based

 Abstract/Concept

A concept music video is abstract. and it neither concept or performance. it often starts from an idea or theme the music video director has come up with.it normally doesn't to the song lyrics however may have an underlying relationship or meaning with then. A concept could be arty or involve other art forms to be abstract and make a statement and impact to the audience however the video is meant to create a mood, a feeling to be evoked in the viewing experience.
