Varied types of music videos

Performance (the artists performing the song) 
This video has the members of the band performing the song to the camera. This is very common with pop songs and the artists always look directly to the camera.

Cartoon/Animation videos 
In this music video there are a mix of animation and actual shots. It is generally used by alternative/indie music and artists.



Narrative
This music video is like a short story that is relevant to the song, however does not include any lip syncing. The artists of the song are part of the video though as they are the characters in the short narrative.

One take video
This video is a one take which means that the video keeps rolling. Although they would have rehearsed it several times there is no editing together clips needed as it is all filmed continuously.

Artist absent
In this music video the artist of the song is not in any way the main part and they only feature once and in this appearance it is not clear they are the artist of the song. This particular type of music video is usually a narrative also.


Intertextuality
This video makes reference to a film as the song is featured in the film.




Lyric Videos
These are videos that are usually released before the official video is released. It helps promote the song on the internet while they have the time to film a proper music video.



Out of all of these examples I am most likely to make a music video with narrative and performance elements. This is I prefer these style videos and think the combination could work well and have seen many recent examples of this being successful. To me the narrative style alone could become quite boring and it would be difficult to continue a 'story' that has different scenes throughout the whole songs. This is why I would combine to two styles together to create an engaging and interesting piece of work.
