My classmates and I have been introduced the three different types that a music video could be categorized into and they are: performance, narrative, or concept (symbolic/thematic) based videos. Below, I have inserted the screenshots of each of its meanings and a link of a music video that justifies the meaning.
Performance-based song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgnJDJN4VA (generally songs that fit into the genre rock). Narrative-based song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AtDnEC4zak (usually music videos with a boy-girl story). Concept: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKSRyLdjsPA (clearly neither performance-based or narrative-based music videos. Instead, contains unique elements that are thought-provoking).
Eminem - Stan
Hybrid: Narrative + Performance (montage).
Bruno Mars - Just the way you are
Hybrid: Narrative + Performance (lip syncing).
