This video the lead character romanticises himself by having the choir singing next to him and him repeating bible quotes, which has been added to the music video. He's also added in real footage of war and poverty etc. This gives the music video an emphasis on the song being about what the world has become. It also shows he's singing about the truth which you may of not known by just listening to the video. This part of the music video is also at the break of the song, because of this it is filled with quick cuts to make the video fast paced and show a lot that going on.
This video by Aerosmith heavily focuses on the male gaze. When the two girls pull into the gas station the old man looks at them...dirtily. The camera then focuses on the woman's rear as it slowly pans up her body. The girls then use there looks and seductive skills to take things from the shop without paying. The whole narrative of this music video is very degrading towards woman, though the sexual side shown on the males performing on stage would show its a sexual video in general and not biased towards one gender.
This video by Pink Floyd is completely different to other music video's. It is a full narrative but has no acting in it, its only animations that change in time with the key changes in the song. Pink Floyd are a very psychedelic band and this would be a main reason for why they made a video like this. It suits there branding, plus the song is dedicated to a former band member who dropped the band due to taking too much LCD, the music video reflects similar behaviour to some one who may be tripping, for example the figure flying high in the sky.
This video by Michael Jackson is heavily performance based, this would be because Michael Jackson is a very talented dancer who would like to show this off as part of his brand. The video also contains a lot of editing techniques. These types of techniques add a lot to the media thats produced, before the video we couldn't appreciatte this kind of presentation.
