Types of Music Video

Brontë Vickery

Performance• Performance videos focus on the band or artist singing to the camera (lip-synching), and playing instruments.• They can be a set up performance to the camera for the purpose of the music video, or can be a recording of one or more live performances to a crowd.

Illustrative• Illustrative videos literally depict the lyrics on screen.• They clearly present the meaning of the lyrics as the artist intended.• They are more cinematic than performance type videos and have a clear set narrative.• They are interesting and easy to understand.

Interpretive/Disjunctive• Interpretive videos explore what the lyrics connote rather than showing a clear literal meaning.• They are cinematic and can range from having a complex narrative to being a seemingly meaningless collection of images.• They may appear to be not connected to the song, and can be very abstract.• They allow the audience t form their own interpretation of the meaning behind the song.• They often have a great impact on the audience and are interesting.
