Performance based
These videos feature the band playing their song throughout most, if not all of the video. These videos are easier to do on a budget as they do not require major effects and can be shot in one location. These videos usually fall in to genres where instruments such as guitars are prevalent such as rock. A good example of this is Best of you by Foo Fighters.
Narrative based
These videos feature a story which is told through different clips. The story is usually based around the lyrics and usually involves actors playing the characters in the story. They are quite popular for use in movies and you will sometimes see scenes from the movie intersected into the music video. You can find them in most genres. Always by Bon Jovi is a prime example.
Concept based
This type of music video is based around one idea. They tend to be unusual compared to the other two types of music videos and have a particular style of editing that is used throughout the video. They are usually used in drum and bass videos. A perfect example is Monkey Drummer by Chris Cunningham and Aphex Twin.
