Although there are many categories for music videos, the 3 most common are:
- Performance based videos- band or artist is playing the song throughout the video
- Narrative based videos- song involves a narrative & the words and meaning of the song are acted out
- Concept based- focus on a specific idea and are unique. They can often lack a storyline, mostly random and rarely link to the band or theme of the song
However there are other categories aswell such as:
- Mixture- The musician plays as well as the narrative storyline while the camera cross cuts between the two
- Cameo- The musician(s) features in the video but is not part of the storyline
- Animation/Surreal- can be a fully animated video or half and half, which is creative and entertaining
Music video for 'Take on me' by A-Ha which looks like a comic book
- Interpretive- something that looks like something else but has a different meaning (normally based on own interpretation)
- Parody- meant to mock other music videos
Blink 182- All the small things- mocking the boy band 'Backstreet boys '
