Gag Video:
Relies on special effects on camera and not so much reliant on editing. These can be dolls which resemble the band/singer or giving the artist extremely long limbs. An example of this can be the following video. This video shows the singer playing different characters of a news crew, although the band remain as they are and are only shown with the performance. The video also shows a story about 'Neighbours Star shock split'. This is because the singer, Sam Clark is also an actor most known for his work as 'Ringo Brown' on Neighbours. This song was then also used in an episode of neighbours in a scene where the character 'Ringo' tries to (and successfully) rekindles his relationship with Donna (Margot Robbie).
Performance Video:
The visuals show the band or singer mainly performing, to make this further interesting the locations could vary or the time of day could vary. An example of a vary time could be the following video. Although shot entirely on a beach, the time of day varies which adds a spin to the video. A performance is something one would usually see for a rock band, and this is the case here. Valens are known as a hard rock band.
Concept Video:
Shows stories and images, never performances. The following video could be a concept video although it may not seem very obvious. The video follows the people telling their own personal story, however, not at any point can you see the singer singing the song or lip syncing for the music video. Although it can also be considered a narrative following the evening they had letting go of their past.
Narrative Video:
This narrative video shows Rupert Grint looking up to Ed Sheeran to essentially be Ed Sheeran, although this was done as a joke, to add humour to the concept of the song and music video. The video follows Rupert Grint around as a crazed fan who tries to become Ed Sheeran himself only to be pushed off stage by security.
Dance\choreographed Video:
At first glance this does not look like a dance video, however, it is very well choreographed and something very unique. This song was known famously for this music video and is genuinely known as 'The Treadmill Video'. The entire video consists of the band moving on and around the treadmills, although it is only in one shot, there's also only one type and it does not look too professional, the choreography keeps the viewer watching and interested.
Animated Video:
Year 3000 by Busted is a prime example of animation within a video. This combines both animation and performance. The video starts with video game animation then goes into the future (Year 3000) which shows an animated world of living under water, although the band and other people are in real life in 3 dimensional form.
Film/Theatre Video:
The first video seen here for 'Till I Hear You Sing' is not from a film but from a stage musical, it is from the sequel to 'Phantom Of The Opera', 'Love Nevre Dies'. This music video and song were both released as promotional material for the show even though it was the most anticipated show in the world of musical theatre for a number of years. With the world of musicals soundtracks are only released after the show is a success, but this was released before the show, alike how it would have happened if this was a film. The music video shows the the two lead actors; Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom and Sierra Boggess as Christine Daae. In the video, There are times when Ramin is dressed in 'Phantom' clothing such as the puffy long sleeved shirt which is what is worn on stage. Sierra is seen posted and projected around his room, this is because in the live stage show, there is a 'Christine doll' which 'The Phantom' has had made and keeps with him.
This next video was actually for a movie - Godzilla released in 1998. The music video starts off with showing an audience at the cinema to watch the movie, in which this song was used. The music video also consists of scenes reminiscent from the film 'Godzilla'
Club/Party video
This video shows a club scene with strobe colourful lights and people around dancing.
