Performance based music video

Performance music videos is footage of the band/the artist of them actually performing the music. This could be a live performance from when they were doing a concert or it could be a staged performance. The singers are the main focus of the videos and are usually shown the whole way through. The most common videos made in the performance style is indie and rock. The costing of the videos are not usually very high because it does not involve too much editing and work to be done to the video, as they want to show a realistic video. The negative to this style is sometimes it may look boring as you are just watching them perform and therefore they will have to be pretty well known for people to be interested in watching the video.

Performance videos contain:

• Shots of the artist performing.
• Could be a live stage performance, including shots of the artists as well as the audience.
• Could be real life situations, like talking, fooling around and warming up.
• A lot of close up shots are shown.
• Particular visual style, with props, clothing for example.
• Could be in an unusual place, for example a rooftop.
