Christian Metz theory
The four stages of a genre:
1. The Experimental
2. The Classic
3. The Parody
4. The Deconstruction
Types of music video
1. Performance based video
This is when the mainly shows the artist actually performing the song, maybe in the studio or in front of a live crowd.
2. Narrative based video
This is where a music video is made to tell a story and focuses more on this aspect of the video than the artist actually performing the song, though this may still feature at certain parts of the video.
3. Abstract/artistic/surrealist
When a video does not fit into either of the previous two categories, it usually falls into this one. These videos often do not have any real meaning or story to them and also do not feature the artist performing for any extended period of time.
