Styles of Music videos

Styles of music videos

Animation.

Animated music videos have an animated film, or cartoons, with the soundtrack playing in the background. 

These videos usually don't have anything real to show to the viewers, even though the song is produced by the original artist.

The animations in the videos are designed by using different software and these music videos are usually cheap as they are entirely digital.

Interpretive.

Interpretive music videos can be interpreted by the audience in many ways. 

Each person can see the video in different ways and understand a different meaning according to their mentality.

Impressionists.

An impressionist music video can be used to show a particular theme to the audience.

It includes random and peculiar shots and images to express the theme of the video.

Abstract features are mostly used in an impressionist music video.

Intertextuality.

References used from some other media product, some mythology, history, or any other type of music video.

Surrealist.

Simliar to impressionists music videos, surrealist music videos are very abstract and may not have a relation with the music itself.

A surreal music video contains artificial, unreal or superstitious elements in it.

A surreal music video gives a very different dream like effect to the audience.

Allusion.
It is similar to intertextuality to some extent.
An allusion music video gives reference of another thing sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly.
It depends on how the audience see the video, and how they make a connection between the video and others similar to ones they have seen before.
