Categories of Music Videos
Performance based music videos:
A performance music video specializes in featuring the artist of the song, performing the song throughout most, if not all of the music video. They will be the centre of attention throughout the video. The camera shots will often focus on the artist through shots that are considered 'intimate' (close ups on the artists eyes and lips).
An example of a performance based music video is Logic: 'Black SpiderMan'

Narrative based music videos:
A narrative based music video uses the artist, or actors, to try and tell a story that likely links to the lyrics of the video.
An example of a narrative based music video is Eminem: 'Stan'

Concept based music videos:
A concept based music video is usually based around an idea or concept. They may or may not feature the artist but are always unique in some way.
An example of a concept based music video is Fatboy Slim: 'Weapon of Choice'
