Performance Vs. Narrative Videos...

In our last lesson we started to learn about the different formats of music videos. For example, the difference between PERFORMANCE videos and NARRATIVE videos.

Performance Videos:

  • contains mostly filmed performance
  • often shows the vocalist(s) in one or more settings
  • common examples = recording studios/rehearsal rooms
  • could be song, dance or instrumental performance
  • almost every music video contains song performance
  • e.g. Massive Attack (click here to view video)
Here is an example of one of my favourite performance music videos as it is slightly different to your regular performance video due to the odd camera shots that they use. The viewer really gets a sense of atmosphere in this video - Enter Shikari - Mothership:



Narrative Videos:
  • if a music video clip is most appropriately understood as a short silent movie to a musical background, it is a narrative clip.
  • a narrative clip contains a visual story that is easy to follow.
  • e.g. Bruce Springstein (click here to view video)
Here is an example that I found of a narrative video - Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent:
