Different music videos fit into divergent categories, there is three categories that they could be a part of; they are:
Performance Based Videos: is where the camera continuously focus' on the band/artists. Usually heavy metal bands use this type of video however, it can be a hybrid of different categories such as a performance and a narrative. Here is an example.
Narrative Based Videos: is where the video tells a story, links to a story or film. This is usually associated with Pop, RnB or Country. Again this could also result in a hybrid of the three categories. Here is another example.
Concept Based Videos: Based around a single idea. With this category there is two types of concepts Thematic concept: Metal bands - Performance, Rap- Street images, Pop - Dance Routines. You then also have the Symbolic concept: Build up of meaning, use of montage, lighting suggests moods, fast paced, pictures can support. Foo Fighters have shown an example of concept based music videos.
My music video, is a concept video which is supported by the lighting and the mood that is conveyed by the artist and the overall feeling of the song.
