Narrative Music Videos

Narrative Music Videos are music videos that have a storyline that relate to the lyrics. Most of these music videos  have only little or no performance. Most of these music videos are a based around some sort of love story between a man and a women.They may use a complex narrative story and structure.

Performance

Within these Music Videos  mainly focus just on the artist, we are shown the artist performing either to the camera or to an audience. They rarely have any sort of narrative within the music video. These are mainly used in Rock Music Video's and also Indie Bands that aren't famous enough to make a music video so they use their concerts to promote themselves.

Most of the camera shots within these videos are jumping from one band member to the other to help promote them, they look into the camera to also catch the audience's attention.
