Narrative
When a music video follows a certain storyline is called a
narrative based music video. It is common to do in the music industry, it helps
the audience relate and engage with the meaning of the song. Romantic songs
usually take up this stance.
The music video follows young love to adulthood. Having the same colour eyes perhaps
represents how they are soul mates, connected on a deeper level. The female sings not just love, but
resentment and pain… “I don’t wanna fall in love.” This song is like the after
effect of heartbreak, and betrayal. The woman who the male sleeps with towards
the end becomes an object of desire, “its strange what desire can foolish
people do,” which was the ultimate downfall of the relationship. Visually seeing this encourages the audience
to relate and sympathise with the main female. The other female somehow looks
like she cannot be the one the man loves, but succumbs to sleeping with him anyway.
The man tries to grab the woman he loves, but she breaks away. She lets go –
she wants to detach herself from love.
Cinematic
Cinematic has a similar approach to narrative but there is a film quality to it. Often, there are clips of a movie incorporate into the music video to make it look more realistic. An example of this Eminem's lose yourself.

Studio Based
It's rather self explanatory - music videos based at a studio, most are performed in s stylish way.
Intertextuality
This is when a music video refers to other texts, "Walks like Rihanna," imitates Back Street Boys and Take that.
Parody
Pastiche
