Narrative -The video is narrative based, telling a story through the visuals as well as through the lyrics of the track. These being acted out in a certain combine with the lyrics can be a great match if done correctly.

Performance - A performance video mainly shows footage of the artist/band during a live performance as a staged performance or at a concert. Normally the band or artist needs to be well established to pull off this form of video however many bands with a low budget do this type of video.
