SIMON FRITH’S MUSIC VIDEO THEORY
1. 3 TYPES OF MUSIC VIDEO Narrative Conceptual Performance 2. NARRATIVE VIDEOS Narrative videos are videos which tell a story and generally involve the music artist or group in a scenario related to the lyrics of the song. A good example of this is The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars 3. CONCEPTUAL VIDEOS Conceptual videos are videos which create a mood or atmosphere similar to that of the song without telling a story. An example of this is This Is War by 30 Seconds to Mars 4. PERFORMANCE VIDEOS Performance videos are simply videos that show the band or music artist performing, either in a concert or rehearsing. An example of this is Burn It Down by Linkin Park, which is a performance based video which uses special effects over the band members to create effects.
