-Stars Christopher Walken dancing and flying around a hotel lobby. It is a big contrast from this to the characters he has played in many different films; which are often more sinister and serious.
Video :
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
-Video focuses on the singer for nearly the whole video, apart from some cut-aways used.
-The video shows real emotion, big close-ups forcing the audience to look into her eyes. Extremely effective.
U2 - The Sweetest Thing
-Romantic story line based on the facial expressions of the lead singer (Bono)
-Looks like it has been shot in one take - clever and effective as it all flows so well.
-Stars other famous people; including the likes of Boyzone, boxing stars, etc.
Eminem - Stan
-Believable story line about celebrity culture and obsessions.
-Big, dramatic ending
-Frustrating emotions shown, so it is quite hard-hitting and emotive (shocking).
Electric Six - Gay Bar
-Controversial, actors look like Abraham Lincoln with bondage outfits on.
-It was found very offensive in America because of this
-Extremely weird.
David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
-Abstract, very weird
-Completely random
-Has no meaning whatsoever attached to it.
Radiohead - No Surprises
-Unusual
-Focuses solely on the singer
-Lyrics scroll up on the glass panel in front of him
-Uncomfortable to watch as the singer manages to hold his breath under water for quite a long period of time. You can see the pain in his eyes, making it even more uncomfortable to sit through.
Queen - I Want To Break Free
-The video is completely filmed in drag.
-Humorous
-Audience did not really notice at the time, but Freddie Mercury was homosexual; this video emphasizing it.
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
-Filmed entirely in animation.
-Unique to usual video-types.
