Music Video Theory

3 types of music video –

- Performance - Narrative

Performance

- This is the cheapest and easiest way to make a video. - Usually the band lip-syncing to the lyrics - Large variety of shots in quick succession to keep it interesting

Narrative

- Shows a story that can either be of multiply stories intertwining or a single story - Can be linked to the lyrics or can be random and rather easy to follow - Usually slow love songs

Conceptual

- LSD trip - No relation to the lyrics, band or artist - Very memorable
