Research - Narrative

Narrative Research
In class we have been studying narrative. We have looked at the different genres of music videos and the different codes and conventions that narrative has. 
GENRE:
The three different genres music videos can be are performance, narrative and experimental.
Performance: 
In music videos performance genre is where the bad or singer is seen to be performing the song whether it be singing and or playing instruments. This genre is usually added with another genre to make a hybrid genre of two or even three combined. An example of a performance only music video would be The Dangerous Summer - 'Work In Progress'.
Narrative:
Music videos often use narrative to show a story or act out a seres of events. Narrative in music videos often matches or is cut to the beat of the song to make sure that it doesn't look like a short film. To help this, narrative is often mixed in a hybrid genre with performance to reinforce the fact it is a music video. However, an example of a narrative only music video would be Ed Sheeran - 'The A Team'.
Experimental:
Experimental genre is probably the most rare to come across. Experimental genre means having no real meaning or story like narrative genre has, it's just a series of random events or objects that don't relate to the song. It is usually mixed with another genre, mainly performance or both to create a hybrid genre. An example of the experimental genre in a music video would be Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Can't Stop'.
