Different Types of Music Video

There are 3 types of music video.
- Concept based
- Narrative based
- Performance based

Concept based music video usually have no relation to the music. They can oftend be very random and irrelevent to lyrics or the music. Good examples of concept based videos are 'Here we go again' by OK GO and 'Declare independance' by Bjork.

Narrative based music videos have a storyline. The video usually follows the storyline it is based on with a relation to the lyrics or the pace or beat of the music. Immagery and symbolism is commonly used. Good examples are 'Just the way you are' by Bruno Mars and 'Forget you' by Ce-Lo Green.

Performance based videos are commonly very in sync with the band performing their music and the video is a way of showcasing their taletent. Good examples are 'Notion' by Kings Of Leon and 'The Hardest Button To Button' by The white Stripes.

Our music video will be very much narrative based, following the story of a relationship, very much like the song.
