The following music videos are famous, creative or useful examples to help your research and inspire your creativity:
Ed Sheeran - Shape of You
This video uses the classic narrative linked to lyrics approach and contains some really creative shots and locations.
Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk
In many ways this is simply a classic performance video but it does some interesting things with camerawork and editing that is worth watching.
Walk Off The Earth - Red Hands
This is an incredibly creative one-shot video. The level of thought and detail behind it is revealed in this behind the scenes video.
Joyner Lucas - I'm Not Racist
This is a stunningly simple but incredibly powerful music video that taps into the state of the world today. It may be blocked in school but you should be able to access this at home or via your phone.
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
This one always appears in best ever music video lists - a parody of 1970s cop shows. Intertextuality is a key convention of music videos.
Years & Years - I Wish I Knew
This is another simple video that uses one location and some creative lighting and props to produce a superb finish.
Foals - Hummer
This is a stunning example of camerawork and editing. Watch the opening of the video - just a series of close-ups of instruments but edited to perfection to match the beat of the song.
Imagine Dragons - Thunder
This is an interesting video from a colour and mise-en-scene perspective but it is also notable for product placement - notice the prominent Jeep car early in the video. You may want to research videos that contain product placement as this is an aspect of the brief.
