Categories of Music Videos:Performance based video

In the Music Industry there are three main types of music videos that are created that include:

• Narrative Based Videos
• Performance based videos
• Concept based videos

A Performance based video is a music video in which the main focus is the video's singer or the band performing the song. In most cases this type of music video is often presented as the singers performing to the camera however there have been some music videos where the performers are shown to be performing to an audience.

Performance based music videos are often commonly used by Rock bands such as Linkin Park and Green Day as this music video technique is used help to present this music video as a Rock concert that the band would be performing at which gives the video more of a realistic and livelier feel .
