1. Performance:
Show only the band artistperforming the song. Itis the cheaper and easier
type of video to make. A large variety of shots needed to be used in quick
succession in order to keep the video interesting as it could be at risk of being
boring. One example is ‘the bestof you’ by Foo Fighters. This has a load of
camera angles and movements to keep it interesting.
Narrative
These sorts of videos contain mostly footage that show a storylinethat runs
throughoutthe video or sometimes morethan one storylinerunning
simultaneous. This is good for suggesting themes to the audience however it
can be harder to film. Haveto think about mise – en – scene, setting and
actors.
Conceptual
This is when the videos are based around the idea, the type of this video is very
unusualand are a lot harder to film mostly being done with editing and special
FX. They also haven’tbeen very popular as they are not very easy to relate to
so very few videos are conceptual.
A lot of music videos now have a mixture of all of these in one video. Itmakes
it easy for the audience as it may have moreof an appeal as it could be more
interesting. However, thesetypes are usually moreexpensive than normal
ones.
