PERFORMANCE VIDEOS
A performance based video predominantly involves footage of the artist singing the lyrics.
Shot over a variety of different locations, the artist typically changes wardrobe with each backdrop to reflect the atmosphere of the song. Various camera angles, dance movements,
and shot selections also help to display the artists style as well as establish their identity.

NARRATIVE VIDEOS
A narrative based video tells a story that typically follows the lyrics of the song.
Each song definitively has a beginning middle and end. This engages the audience as they absorb the plot thru the combination of visuals, lyrics and melody. Sometimes the visuals compliment the lyrics and other times the images are an alternative interpretation.
Narrative music videos are usually more expensive to produce because they require
a lot of resources - such as: cast, crew, equipment and time.

CONCEPT VIDEOS
A concept video is usually based around one unique idea or abstract theory, which typically
doesn't have any relation to the lyrics. However, it is this distinctive impression that
usually attracts the audience to the song.
Concept based videos can be thematic or symbolic where the symbols
throughout the video create a certain meaning.
Most concept videos are seen as very “artsy” and usually have more creativity compared
to Performance and Narrative music videos. As a result, concept videos are more memorable
and these types of music videos remain quite popular for a long time.
