Three Types Of Music Videos 

The music videos that I looked at were: 

Narrative: Justin Timberlake - 'What goes around, Comes back around' 

The music video focused on the relationship between two characters where they fall in love. As the song continues we see that the female character has been unfaithful which ultimately results in her death. The music video Does have a performance element despite being heavily narrative based where Justin is in a classic looking casino singing to a audience. 

Conceptual: Pink - 'Try' 

This particular music video is clearly conceptual yet it does follow a symbolic narrative. The narrative is expressed through contemporary dance which is a powerful use of movement to portray love and affection as well as hate. The conceptual element is the fact the story is connoted through dance which is a also accompanied by the use of paint splatter which is increased through the music video. 

Performance: Beyonce - 'Best thing I never had' 

98% of this music video is performance based and includes different locations and props. Although the concept is basic it still does portray a narrative by the outfit of a wedding underwear which symbolises a relationship and purity. The use off different locations also made the visuals more ascetically pleasing so it wasn't repetitive.
