Music Video Styles- Cameo

The 'Cameo' style of music video is when other artists often from the same recording label are collaborated with an artist in the songs visuals of the music video. This still involves the artists usually singing through the video with but backs to them performing whilst a sense of narrative is still evident.

Some examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUYjpKg9KY Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXvzzTICvJs Ed Sheeran- You Need Me

My favourite out of these three 'Cameo' styled videos would be Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff video. This is due to the effectiveness of the many people featured within the video including 'Snoop Dogg' and 'Eminem' in which makes the visuals relatable to many people. There isn't a full narrative, however scenes of multiple relatable settings are shown like the Skating scenes which then links to the theme of the music being rebellious and then the heavy tone of the music linking to the aggressive actions of  the band members and the featured artists shown on screen.
