media laguage of different music vidoes

Music videos usually use specific traits and ideas. Music vidoes dont have to have a narrative but some do to fit the lyrics and tempo of the song. whether a song has a narrative or not can sometimes depend on the genre of the song in the video. Often in songs about love a simple storyline is added to show what the lyrics of the song are about. Altough in a genre such as indie i have found that there isnt really a narrative. I think this is because the audience of the indie/rock music genre are more intrested in appreciated the music and the instruments being played than a narrative itself. The mise en scene also tends to be different too. I have found in songs about love the lighting tends to be high hey to show the song as happy and appeal to everyone. In the indie genre the lighting seems to be more low key and less appealing. This is because they are already trying to appeal to a specific audience and not everybody. Now i have watched these music video i have found that they do fit goodwins theory and different genres do have different styles. Because my genre of music is acoustic folk this meens there is going to be a narrative that fits the song. although the music being played is also going to be in the video so that the music can be appreciated by a certain audience.
