Applying Music video theory - Firth

Firth 1988 Theory:

States that there are three broad characteristics of a music video.
  • Performance - Conveys a sense of a live performance e.g. a concert. 
  • Narrative - Love stories are the most popular, action in the story is dominated by males who do things for females.
  • Conceptual - Metaphors to create a mood, offer multiple meanings. 
These types form the content that is selected by the artist and music video director to convey a message as well as attract viewers either new or present.
