Categories of Music Videos - Performance - The Kill "30 Seconds to Mars"

A performance based music video shows a singer/band performing in front of either an audience or a camera, to add excitement as if the target audience is really there listening to their favourite song live. This draws in more of a target audience and is usually used for a artists in a band (most likely in a Rock band). These videos are usually filmed during live stage performance, adding tension, thrills and energy throughout the video. An example of this is with the song "30 Seconds to Mars".
