Hi, i am interested to find out what you think makes a good music video for a rock/ indie based track. For example, which of the following would make a music video successful?..

-The use of humour i.e ones which make you laugh
- Random or relevant? Does the imagery need to be linked to the meaning of the song?
- Visually interesting, the use of different camera and editing techniques
-A video that tells a story

If you can think of any personal favorites, feel free to share them and why you like them. Also, what do you dislike in a music video? Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thanks, Eden
 
No particular type is the best. Just like no particular genre is the best. There are different mooRAB and settings for every band or song.

What i think makes a good video is having almost 100% translation rate from song to video. Meaning it can be funny, deep, action packed, as long as it fits the song and band.
 
As long as it fits the song thats all that matters. I hate when people do viRAB that have zero percent to do with the song. Just make it coherent and youre golden.

Oh and performance scenes are of course a must (unlike hip hop videos). Flyleaf does good videos that are off the beaten path but artsy.
