Fresh Start; Lets check some music videos!

In class today we were learning about the purpose of music videos and the different types they are... 


A music video

- a series of (often consecutive) moving pictures to promote a song. 

- the images tend to be in line with the song

- they either show the artist or tell a story that fits the song

We learnt today that there are 3 types of music videos:

Performance - This is when a band/artist is shown in the video often miming or playing along to song in the video. Often this is a small concert so it shows fans liking the song with the filming crew easily being able to film it with a camera and a crane.

Non-Narrative - This is when a  band/artist might be featured in the video and the video has no reference or relevance to the song many dance videos are non narrative.

Narrative - This is when a band/artist may not be the main feature of the video and the video focuses more on telling a the story behind the song as opposed to performance when the artist is the main focus of the video.
