Digital animation
This is created using computers to animate images. An example of Digital animation in a music video is "Move your feet" by Junior Senior as the video consists entirely of computer generated animation.
Stop motion
Stop motion is achieved by taking photos of something being moved in between shots. Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer video uses this technique very well and is one of the most famous videos to use stop motion.
In concert
In concert uses footage of the artist playing live in the video, this is a commonly used form, particularly for heavy music/bands such as Rage Against the Machine or Nirvana.
As Live footage
As live footage differs from in concert as it features more the backstage side of things, such as the artist messing around backstage or on a tour bus. The Beatles are notorious for doing this during the late 60s when they couldn't appear live due to tours.
Studio Based
Studio Based music videos show the artist just in the studio, playing the song as if they were recording the song normally. As can be seen from Jasmine V performing "Jealous" in a studio.
Cinematic
These styles of music videos use a story format to illustrate the lyrics/music. Lady Gaga is notorious for making videos that use a story driven format, making them into a short movie/music video hybrid.
