Three main types of music videos

There are three different types of music videos these are:

• Narrative
• Performance
• Concept based

This is a narrative music video because it tells a story through the images that are portrayed. Here is an example of a narrative video:

This is a performance music video because there is a performance put on to be watched. This video is an example of a performance:

This is a concept music video because it is based on different and imaginative ideas that wouldn't be seen in a normal music video. Here is an example of a music video with a concept:

Weapon Of Choice - Fatboy Slim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMZwZiU0kKs

This video is a dance video because the video is focused on one person dancing throughout. I think this video shows that the person is letting loose and relieving himself from all his emotions that have been kept inside! This is shown by the actions made and the face expressions that he portrays.

There is only one man throughout this whole video and has very matt makeup on so his face doesn’t come across shiny in the video. It’s done to make him look natural. Christopher Walken is dressed in a grey suit, a cream shirt and a red tie with smart shoes. This makes him look like a professional man.

The location looks like it could be at a hotel because of the sofas and centre pieces that are laid out on the tables. It is empty making Christopher the attention throughout the whole video. There were many props that were used such as the plants, tables, chairs, elevators etc, giving it a specific feel to the video. There is a general light that is maintained continuously through the video as well as other back ground lights coming from the lamps he passes. The actors’ facial expressions are very intense and give certain energy through his movements. The movements are very joyous and shows how free he is with all the space and with no one there to disrupt him. There are many wide shots to capture the setting and the actors’ movements. There are sections were the camera is panning, making mid shots, medium close ups and cut ins. This gives the video a variety of angles and to make it look interesting. 

The song is perhaps best known for its accompanying music video, which was filmed in the Los Angeles Marriott in December 2000. Directed by Spike Jonze and featuring actor Christopher Walken, who was trained as a dancer in musical theatre prior to his acting career, it features Walken dancing and flying around in the empty hotel to the music. The chorus of the song, "You could go with this, you could go with that...", is a homage to the Black Sheep song "The Choice is Yours", which features a similar chorus.

Foji Gill - Pumbeeri

This isn't a normal bhangra video where the artist or producer are the main feature to the video. Foji (the singer) was hardly shown as the "star". The video starts with clips of Foji's previous work, this furthers the promotion for those videos - if the audience takes a liking to this video then they are likely to want to see more of his work. 
The way that the video has been produced really captures the audiences attention because suspense is built from the text at the beginning, telling the audience who's video it is, who's produced the video, how long it took to plan and how many cameras where used. The location is shown followed by Foji being recorded from a handheld camera, speaking to his audience telling them what he's going to do. The music starts and Foji starts dancing by himself, as time goes by it turns into a bhangra flashmob in the middle of Birmingham city centre. The dancers consisted of people from all ages and backgrounds.
I think the purpose for this video was to show people from different backgrounds and ages working together and having fun!
