Music videos is a short film which may include a narrative story which tends to reflect back on to the lyrics of the song and usually shows the band/singer performing the song, maybe to a live crowd. Music videos came into popular use in the early 1980's, but but the use of music videos go back well before then.
Music videos can include many different styles and techniques in the actual video side to it, animation, live action filming( humans acting it out), documentary style, abstract music videos are really just videos with no narrative. Some videos have combined styles.
