Top 5 Favourite Music Videos

Eminem 'Beautiful' 

This is one of my favourite music videos because unlike the other 'gangsta' rap videos he has produced, this one has a deep emotional meaning to the artist and it is visually shown throughout the video. For example, it is filmed where he grew up and in this video his hometown is in ruins which is shown by the vandalised buildings therefore, we see how patriotic he is about his place of birth which I think evokes a response from the viewers, I also like the close up shots of the different people because it adds diversity to the video. 

Kodaline 'All I Want'

This has a place on my favourite music videos because I like the meaning to the video and that it is obvious so that people can recognize what it is about which is that it's okay to be different. This video gives us an insight to the life of a man who has some facial deformities this is denoted from the start of the video.Throughout the video it shows that this character has to put up with a lot of negative things in his life, this is evidently seen when it focuses in and out of the background and foreground which shows other people watching him in disgust. 

  

Ed Sheeran 'Thinking Out Loud'  

This is one of my top 5 favourite music videos. One of the main reasons is because of the dance choreography I find it entertaining to watch and I think that their facial expressions also makes it feel more intimate. Furthermore, I like how creative this music video is with only using one room. Also I like the how the camera alternates because close up shots and shots further away. 

Black Eyed Peas 'Where Is The Love'

I like this video because of the visual message that it is portraying about love and hate. Also I like how there is a similar representation of all the different ethnicities and how it deals with real issues in the world and how when unified everything seems better. Another thing I like about this video is the close up shots they have of the children lip-syncing the words because it shows this aspect of innocence which is a stark contrast to the violence. 

Daughtry 'Waiting For Superman'

Waiting For Superman is a music video I like because of the gallant main character that we see. This video shows that not everyone person receives gratitude for the heroic things they've done and that they don't need to take credit. It also shows how people are quick to judge  situation without reviewing it first. I also like the landscape views of New York City and I also like the use of the bright lighting in this film which the connotation could be this idea of hope and heroism.
