Research and planning: styles of music videos

 Due to my research on the topic, I now have a better understanding of the various styles of music videos.

• Animation:

• These types of music videos have an animated film with the soundtrack playing in the background.
• These videos usually do not have anything real to show to the viewer, even though the song is produced by the original artist.

• Interpretive:

• This type of music video can be interpreted by the audience in many ways. 

• Each person can see this video in different ways and understand a different

meaning according to their mentality.

• Impressionist:

• An impressionist music video can be used to show a particular theme to the audience.
• It includes random and peculiar shots and images to express the theme of the video.
• Abstract features are usually used in the style. 

• Intertextuality:

• References used from some other media

product, mythology, history or any other existing thing is taken and shown in the style of music video.

• Surrealist:

• Similar to impressionist music video, this style is very abstract and may not have a relation with the music itself.
• It contains surrealist, artificial, unreal or superstitious elements in it.

• Allusion:

• It is similar to intertextuality to some extent.

- An allusion music video gives reference of another thing sometimes directly or indirectly.
