Music Video Genre - Narrative

Another common genre for music videos are narrative videos. These types of videos tell a story throughout the music video, which can be, but not always, based on the lyrics of the song, or often not connected to the lyrics at all. Often, it is the artist or band members that act throughout the music video, as the audience are able to conenct with them more as they would already feel like they know the band, especially if they are a long term fan, making the music video even more successful. However, often actors are used within music video as the band are performing.
Narrative music videos are rather common modernly, and an example of an only narrative music video is Slipknot's 'Snuff';
