Styles of music videos

Narrative Based
A narrative based music video is a video that shows you a story. This type of video tends to involve a main actor and what happens to that that character throughout the video. There may be other actors in the video to help portray the story of the video. The narrative of the song is not always lyrically literal, but sometimes it can be. A example of a narrative based  music would be "What Goes Around... Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake. The reason for this is because it shows a story about two characters, one male, one female, and the story is about how they met, and how he put her trust in her.


Cinematic



Animation
A animation music video can be digital or stop motion animation. I have used Michael Jackson's "Leave Me Alone". The reason why I have used this as my example is because the video is fully
animated using stop motion animation to put the video together.
