Music video

Scope Note:

Generally short works that feature a song, performer, or musical group, sometimes structured narratively and accompanied by highly stylized visuals or a series of images to convey a mood. Note: Used for compilations of videos as well as for individual videos. Music video may include what appears to be a performance of a work, but for works which contain an entire concert performance, use Music with the form Performance (RAY CHARLES IN CONCERT; BILLY JOEL LIVE FROM LENINGRAD USSR; MADONNA LIVE: WHO'S THAT GIRL?). Examples (individual videos): STRAIGHT UP [performed by Paula Abdul]; ABOUT A GIRL [performed by Nirvana]; LUCKY STAR [performed by Madonna]. Examples (music video compilations): JANET JACKSON--CONTROL--THE VIDEOS [performed by Janet Jackson]; JUST SAY YES--THE VIDEO. VOL. 1 [performed by various artists]; VIDEO A GO-GO, VOL. 1 [performed by various artists].
