Research and planning: Styles of music videos

 


Due to my research on the topic, I now have a better understanding of the various styles of music videos.

  • Animation:

- These types of music videos have an animated film with the soundtrack playing in the background.

- These videos usually do not have anything real to show to the viewer, even though the song is produced by the original artist.


  • Interpretive:

- This type of music video can be interpreted by the audience in many ways.

- Each person can see this video in different ways and understand a different meaning according to their mentality.


  • Impressionist:

- An impressionist music video can be used to show a particular theme to the audience.

- It includes random and peculiar shots and images to express the theme of the video.

- Abstract features are usually used in the style.


  • Intertextuality:

- References used from some other media product, mythology, history or any other existing thing is taken and shown in the style of music video.


  • Surrealist:

- Similar to impressionist music video, this style is very abstract and may not have a relation with the music itself.

- It contains surrealist, artificial, unreal or superstitious elements in it.


  • Allusion:

- It is similar to intertextuality to some extent.

- An allusion music video gives reference of another thing sometimes directly or indirectly.
