Illustration: When a music video uses narrative to illustrate what is happening in the lyrics directly. E.g.
Blur- Park life
REM- everybody hurts
Amplification: This is when a section of the lyrics of one idea from the song is taken and amplified into the music video.
E.g
Coldplay- The scientist
Disjuncture: Music videos which are unconnected from the lyrics. They often try and create a new meaning for the song using abstract ideas and images. These videos are common for arty bands who are trying express their independence and uniqueness
E.g
Radiohead- No suprises
