Styles of Music videos

Narrative based-A narrative based music video is a video which tells a story with the people in it, were its set and the lyrics as a guide line , for example calvin harris ft example well be coming back tells a visual story of a man driving to his death and why hes doing it.I think that this song is narrative based because its a man driving a car through a rocky mountain climate , explaining why he's there and as he's going along tyhe story gets clearer due to the visulas on the screen.Other people may say that it is preformance based because it mainly focus' on example but theres alot more to the story than him preforming, if you listen to the lyrics the story seems clearer.

  

Preformance based-A preformance based music video is were the visual is mostly on the preforming band or artist , a good example is evenecence- wake me up, were it just shows this women having a dream that shes on the edge of a block of flats watching this band play/communicate with her through a glass window, the visual is mostly based on the band playing.This is a diffficult one because at the start it seems to have a narrative point hence the girl falling asleep and dreaming but within the dream is a band preforming in front of the camera mostly throughout the video , although there is a side narrative (why this girl is in the dream) the main focus is on the preformance.

Concept based- A concept based music video is when the video loosely links to the song’s lyrics, this kind of video usually seems like it makes no sense when compared to the song but is created in such a way that the fans can take their own meaning away from the video, A good example of this is robbie williams, theres not really a narrative to this story , its what your imagination thinks of it.
