Frith’s 3 Typologies
JACOB MAYUGA
Performance
 The first type of music video he states is a
“performance music video” where it solely
consists of the artist or band performing
their song. This is usually to show off the
band/artist and their talents. Also giving a
sense of authenticity.
 A good example of this is in Ed Sheeran’s
music video for his song “One”. In that
video it only consists of him in a spotlight
performing his song with his guitar.
 This really gets the audience to
completely focus on the artist and the
song he’s performing.
Narrative
 A narrative style music video provides a
short story that is shown as the song
plays. The story usually links to the lyrics
of the song and will most likely consist of
various actors and mis en scene.
 These music videos are usually made to
add extra meaning and depth to a song
and the artist.
 A good example of this is Taylor Swift’s
video for her song “You Belong With Me”
which tells the story of a school girl and
her crush which link very well to the lyrics
of the song.
Conceptual
 Conceptual music videos are a lot more
obscure and usually have more than one
meaning. They are also a lot more creative
and spontaneous. With these music videos
Frith states that “no narrative can be
followed” but “a certain mood or feeling
will be evoked”.
 A good example of this is Sia’s music video
for her song “Elastic Heart which solely
consists of 2 people dancing in a large
cage to the rhythm of the song.
 This is a great example of how a music
video can really have multiple
interpretations and meanings.
