3 types of music video

There are 3 types of music video's, a narrative based, a performance based and a concept based.

Narrative Based-a narrative based video is where the video tells a story, an example of this is Lady Ga Ga's "Bad Romance".

Performance Based-a performance based video is where you see the entire band in the music video the whole time, an example of this is Green Day's "American Idiot"

Concept Based- this is where the video doesn't follow a story line, and they band/artist is not seen playing in the video, an example of this is OKGo's 'Here it goes again'.
