Types of expression
Allan contends that one can group music videos according to types of expression—separate from genres based on content. That is, genres such a rock, pop, rap, country and R&B are the most common way of grouping music videos, but cutting across those genres are certain expressive forms. Allan lists four of them:
- Performance - Group 1
- Narrative - Group 2
- Nonnarrative - Group 3
- Graphic - Group 4
Each group should be prepared to explain how their video that exemplifies a "type of expression". (The video must be available online.)
