performance, concept and narrative

narrative music video:

this video is a narrative music video as the story line used follows the lyrics of the song it also shows a story throughout the video. this video demonstrates narrative as it uses all of the lyrics to show a story as the key story line points in the video are "when I was three I met a young lady" at this point there is a shot of two three year olds in the "shy city" which is mentioned through out the song and music video but this is part of the story line. another example of a narrative music video is Justin Bieber's, as long as you love me. this shows narrative through the video but also audio before the music starts as it is showing Justin and the father of the girl talking and it sets the music video up more so it has got more tension. this is done in a lot of music videos to get across the story line.

performance music video:

this music video shows performance by using all artists who sing or produce the song to be in the video. this video demonstrates lip syncing with the song as all of the artists do. this music video is seen as a performance video as it is all lip-synced with the song and it shows all of the artists. this could be confused with a narrative music video but none of the lyrics link with the video.
