 PERFORMANCE
STYLE

performance based music videos features a

solo artist or a band performing to the
camera.
what makes this style unique is that its aim
is to focus on the artists and convey them
in aparticular way to the viewing audience
 NARRATIVE
STYLE

narrative based music videos feature a

series of shots that are designed to tell a
story, similar to a short film.
what makes this style unique is that some
can feature brief artist performance,
others have the artist acting rather than
performing and some feature no artist at
all.
 CONCEPT STYLE

concept music viceos are videos without a

storyline and typically no relevance to
the lyrics themselves.
what makes this style unique is that the
concept music video is usually based on the
artists vision, and can be seen as a way to
expand their creative vision with the song.
 INTERPRETIVE
STYLE

an interpretive music video is a music video

wich can be interpreted in many different
ways by its audience.
what makes this style unique is that each
person could see the video in a different
way and get a different understanding of
what the video is about.
 PARODY/
HOMAGE STYLE

a parody music video imitates the style of

a particular creator with deliberate
exaggerations for comedic effect.
what makes this style unique is that the satire uses
humour to comment on the world-at-large, particularly
in the context of politics. while both parody and satire
incorporate criticism and commentary, only parody may
be considered fair use
