Music Video Styles
Music videos can be categorised into different genres however within these genres there are different styles of promos:
Narrative:
A narrative music video tells a story through the images shown on the screen, it usually works with the music coinciding with the lyrics of the song helping people to understand artists meaning behind the song
This is an example of a narrative style music video-

Performance:
In this style of video he artist/s are shown performing in front of a live audience. The video consists of shots of all the band members and many shots of the audience enjoying the music. You can tell that the song has been recorded live as the audio will sound different to a studio version.

Animation:
Some music videos use animation instead of filmed footage this could be for a variety of reasons firstly i could allow the creator to show something that they may have not been able to as easily with camera work it could also be used to protect the artists identity for example a band that is famous for not revealing they're true identifies is the Gorillas

Parody:
Parody videos usually mock existing songs by taking the original material and either creating a new video or to sing over the song and change certain words to edit the meaning of the lyrics, however people also create their own songs that mock a certain topic weather it be a band, movie or celeb. These videos use comic effects to make them enjoyable and these videos are becoming increasingly popular and are usually well received by audiences.

This video is an example of a parody by the band Lonely Island and features famous singer Michel Bolton. It uses the movie series Pirates of the Caribbean as its main focus of mockery and eventually moves onto Scarface and Forest Gump.
