Narrative Music Video

A narrative music video is a music video that generally tells a short story, The video sometimes follows that of the song but sometimes it can be a story that is not related very much but may have some similar parts or that of a similar meaning. An example of this is Lalala by Naughty boy and Sam Smith as the song is different to the music video but the song is based off of the same thing as what the video is based on.


 The next video I have chosen to talk about is Ugly faces by Watsky and the reason for this is because it is slightly a performance video but it is mostly a story but the main reason is because instead of just using actors as in the previous video, this on has the main character being the singer himself proving that a narrative music video doesn't just have to be actors and it also proves that you don't always need  high budget (like most) to produce a narrative music video like most.
