Task 2 part 3: Different styles of music videos

The main different styles are narrate based, impressionist, surrealist, pastiche, parody, homage and intertextual. This different styles is what can divide different music videos.

Narrate based
Narrate based music videos is where the music video tells a story but not throw the lyrics through the video. its almost like the artist has made a film with the video they have recorded. This are really interesting to see what different musicans have done with there videos.



impressionist
This is when a video hasn't really got much to do with the song but they are doing something impressive in the video. Some videos would use random shots to express certain themes of the video. some other videos that some artist would use for videos would be lyrics that wold relate the the video.



Surrealist
Surrealist is when something is not really real and it is made up. For example seeing an elphant fly would be called surreal. It is wen something is made up that you can't really belive and would be like a dream. This could be used in a music really well because if they can link the music with the video they could make the video look like a really nice dream or a nightmare.




Pastiche
This is when the music video has been set in the past. Or is made to look different. I think that this can be useful when making a music video because it can get more people to view the video as it would stand out form others. Also if it is set in a different error then people that lived through when it was set could watch it therefore the video would get more publicity.



Parody
This is when some makes a music video of the song and they are making fun of the artist. They are normally meant to be really funny and unserious. Really good examples of this would be Miley Cyrus Wreaking ball because there ha been loads of different people that have made different videos of her video.



Homage
This is almost like a parody but were the music video has been copied but it is more serious. It is like a parody but with a lot more respect for the artist. This can be really good because if there is an artist that has passed away and then a director decided to  make a homage for one of there songs then this can get more people to view the dead artists more



Intertextual
This is when a music video would make references to other music videos. It's not always in a way that would make fun of the videos they are referencing but they can. This is also a good way to get people to view your music video because it can voice your opinion on different videos.
