| Question | Answer |
| Narrative in Music Videos... | In songs and poetry, a narrative is often incomplete and often fragmentary. Music videos usually suggest storylines or offer complex fragments in a way that isn't obvious and with a non-linear order. This encourages repeat viewings so that the audience can gain an understanding of meanings behind the media text. |
| Performance in Music Videos... | A performance style music video is conventional for bands, such as in the rock and alternative genres, where members play their own instruments. Sometimes a live performance is filmed for the music video on stage. |
| Combination of Narrative and Performance in Music Videos... | Often, music videos will cut between a narrative and a performance of the song, usually group artists. Sometimes, the artist (especially the singer) will be part of the narrative, acting as both a narrator and participant. However, the lip sync close-up shots and the band members playing instruments that is the key focus of music videos. |
| Narrative and Performance Continued... | Combining a narrative and performance means audience have a more varied access to the performer than a live stage performance can. Close-up shots, allowing a view of facial expressions and body language in a narrative portray the artist in many ways not possible in solely a live performance. |
| Mise-En-Scene... | Mise-En-Scene can be used in music videos in many ways such as: (1) To demonstrate a band’s musical virtuosity and passion by showing them in a stage performance or a rehearsal room. (2) To establish a relationship to familiar film or TV genre in a narrative based video. (3) Particularly in pop songs, as part of the voyeuristic context by suggesting a setting associated with sexual allure. (4) To emphasise an aspirational lifestyle. |
