There are three different types of music video's; Performance, Narrative and Concept based.
Performance Based
This type of music video is based upon the artist/band/group performing the song through most if not all of the video. Its most probably the easiest to do on a budget provided you can get a suitable location for filming. A good example of this would be 'Foo Fighters - Best of you'. The video is mainly performance based and another example is 'American Idiot' by Green Day.
Narrative Based
A narrative based video contains mostly footage that attempts to tell the story through moving imagery. Usually involves actors, the story is sometimes linked to the lyrical content within the song, but this isnt always the case. This type of music video tends to be popular for a song that is featured a film and you will often see scenes cut into the music video.
Examples of this are: -
Cocept Based
This style of music video is based around a single concept or idea. These types of videos are fairly unusual utilized a particular editing or fliming techniques. Its not often you get a purely conceptual music video as a commercial world demands things to be a bit more accessible.
