There are different types of action that can be used in a music video.
Film- This is the most common form of music video, it is a directed video filmed as you would a film or for television. You can see this is almost every music video but one example is Lady Gaga- Bad Romance. This video is the epitome of the modern 'pop' music video, featuring the artist, dynamic filming and impressive costumes, sets and dance routines.
Amateur footage- This is where the footage used has been filmed by a non professional camera man, normally backstage or on tour, it shows a more personal side of the artist as the action has not been scripted- An example is Taylor Swift- the Best Day. This is a video compiled totally of footage of Swift from when she was younger from family home videos.
Stop Motion Animation- This is a form of animation where a series of photos are taken, usually ten per second, and the objects are moved subtly between photos so that it appears to be moving on its own when the photos are played together. An example is Oren Lavie- Her Morning Elegance. This is a stop motion video featuring the artist and a female actor.
Computer Animation- Music videos that are made using computer generated programs, an example is Radiohead- Paranoid Android.
Some music video mix these forms and include more than one, an example is Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication. In this they mix computer animation with footage of them performing.
