What are Music Videos?

A music video is a short film that enacts the song. It is a movie that plays along with the song. Music videos use many types of film making techniques, including animation, live action filming documentaries, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Some music videos merge different styles, such as animation and live action. Many music videos show images and scenes from the songs lyrics. Other music videos may be without a set concept, being merely a filmed version of the song's live performance.
