There are a lot of music videos that show the band playing all the instruments in one place as well as a small narrative story for an example here is Survivor , Eye of the tiger , They start off in the streets and eventually all join up and go into an apartment to play the song.
Narrative.
Music videos that have narrative which means that the music video matches the lyrics. For example Fall Out Boy, Where Did The Party Go is a good example because he has been hypnotized to fight his friends/ band but he keeps switching between liking them and completely hating them.
After narrative, the next type of music video will be surreal, surreal music videos are unconventional and have no connection to the lyrics at all. A good example is talk dirty to me by Jason Derulo becuase the song is about how girl talk dirty but in the video not a single girl talks to him, all it is, is girls dancing and him singing to different girls.
Impressionist music videos are the next on my list to give an example of, and for my example I will choose Clint Eastwood, Gorilla's, The reason I have chosen this music video is becuase Impressionist music videos is a great way for the director to choose what feelings the character has and can show them in unique ways.
The pictures that Gorilla's use to express their characters by different expressions throughout the video, They are below.
Next on the list is Intertextuality, (Synergy, Allusion, and parody)Being a fan or many parody songs and loving the covers of different songs from bands I like . Lets start with Synergy.
Synergy likes to use parts of a movie in their clips but you could always use a Disney movie that has signing in it, for example I will be using Friend Like Me from Aladdin.
Next up is Allusion, Allusion in music videos are where they reference people form history or from a good style of music and they are honoring him/her by performing it how they did.
Next is Parody, Parody is where it completely takes the mick out of another artist , A key example of that is Weird Al, and his parody I'm Fat , This is a parody of Michael Jackson I'm bad.
Next is Animation, Since I have used Clint Eastwood for impressionist I can't use it again so I will use Do The Evolution By Peal Jam
Next on the line is Lip Syncing, Now Lip syncing is very easy to do, you sign the song in a video and take away the audio, then replace it with the original song. For example Epic rap battles of history do it to their videos all the time.
After Lip Syncing is cutting to the beat, The music videos does what I'm saying, it cuts the video to the beat and they come out amazing. I couldn't find an example so I will use The White Stripes Hardest button to button.
Next is post production effects, They are effects that have been added after the video has been shot, My example is Katy Perry Fireworks as no normal person would have fireworks coming from their chest.
Next is chroma Key, An example for a music video with chroma key is Linkin park in the end, They use chroma key to put an image behind them but they are just in a studio using green screen
Next is Split screening , Split screening is a good way of telling a story because in the one I have chosen, Radio head all I need, the music video gives a narrative about two boys living completely different lives,
Lastly is Mise-En-Scene. Music videos make sure that the mise en scene fits the music video and for my example is Monster, By Eminem. The only reason I chose this song is because Eminem sticks to seeing his old music videos and how he is changing costume to fit into what part he is singing.
