There are 3 types of video mash-up:
The first type is a derivative music video, which is the most common one, by recombining two or more pre–existing materials together into a new one.
The second type is slightly different from the first. It allows the users record their own track – either sung or played on an instrument – and then combine it with other
tracks from internet together.
Video mash-up artists are creating wholly original pieces of music and art, often using content that’s already been published.
These two types of music video mash-up are usually edited to match the rhythm of the song, and seeking to show a particular aesthetic style and towards to
a celebrative communication.
The third one is much more participant. It is a music video smushed by bits and pieces from various YouTube or Vimeo performances clipped.
