Researching Music Videos

These are 4 music videos that I thought were very good and hopefully would give me and the rest of my group inspiration for our video.
The video above is an amateur video that quickly became a video sensation thanks to YouTube. It is a video for Ok Go- Here it goes again which has seen many other people try to re-create the video due to its extreme popularity. The reason I like this video is its co-ordination with their movement with the beat is just incredible which eventually led this video becoming the official video of this song.
This video is by The Enemy and the song is called away from here. The reason I like this video is that the editing between the performance and other narrative is quick and well-timed. Furthermore I really like the handheld shots of the band performing as it makes me feel like I was right their with them performing. An up-close and personally feel to this video is also another reason why I like this video alot.
The song is by Oasis and it is one of the well known track, wonderwall. I really like this video as it matches the mood of the song through its smooth editing and its humble footage. The effects look simple and the performance from the band is calm and tame. I will also analysis the video at a later date.
The final video that I also found very inspiring was Bon Jovi's, its my life. The reason I really like this video is through the pace it offers. The song is a fairly quick tempo but the video makes it faster as he runs to get to the gig. The footage of the band isn't why I like this but the quirky narrative and time perfect editing helps to make this video one of my favorites.
