More pop videos

Three more music videos i found in being very significant and each using one thing in common; emotion!!!

Johnny Cash "Hurt"




There are various cut footage of Johnny Cash years and years back; really its a montage of his life and he is presently, in his old age, showing his attitude and thoughts in the 4 minutes he has. This video plays on the heart strings with the close shots of Cash and his wife with their sad expressions and teary eyes; there is no effort being made to hide their fraility. Also the acoustic style really makes it personal which we want to use for our video.


Sinead O'Connor "Nothing compares to you"



The framing here has been very cleverly used here, as it is cropped around her face the audienced is forced to look into O'Connor's eyes which as time goes by, becomes more intense and tearful.It Captures her vunerability and we, as viewers, become just as emotional understanding her in this state. It is really one of those videos that add value to the song.

Radiohead "No Surprises"



This is a very compelling video to watch as its entirety is focused on Tom York's face. It's tense at first and we know something is arriving when he remains still and lyrics is the only thing moving on screen. Then it becomes this unbelievably powerful but unsettling image of York drowning which though is vry distressing for him and for us, it once again adds value to the song which also becomes more meaningful.
