A Day To Remember – Right Back At It AgainA day to remember starts the music video in a long shot like the beginning of a story/ fairy tale with someone holding a book, there is a page turning transition where the music begins to play. I like the animation in this music video as it represents the band as being fun – with the use of stop motion animation. The lyrics are a continuation of City of Ocala, it's further reflection of them becoming superstars. This one seems to be more of a "screw you" to the people who told them to get real jobs and grow up. The animation brings a comedic feel for example, the guitarist riding a wave of spaghetti and smiley face trees suggests this video is abstract and for everyone to enjoy.

Slipknot – The Devil in ISlipknots music video was uploaded on September 12 and featured the band members in a mental asylum surrounded by fans covered completely and dancing in straight jackets while the band performed. I like the visuals as it is a big shock factor as the band commits suicide in various ways such as Corey setting a bomb off while he sat at a table, Mick Thomson ripping his face apart, Sid Wilson eating himself, Craig Jones being locked in an elevator with an attack dog, Chris Fehn pecked to death by crows, Jim Root blowing himself up with dynamite, and Shawn Crahan lighting himself on fire and hanging himself.The video uses very fast cuts in time with the music which gives a kind off aggressive feel however, I like it because of this reason. The uses of panning gives the feel like we as the audience are actually in the mental asylum with the band which I think I a good idea.

The video also features the two new members of the band. They can be seen roaming throughout the asylum as patients in wheelchairs. This could be to entice the audience to keep watching to find out who these people are. They're eventually cornered by the band whom which proceed to stab the new members. This stabbing could resemble the two new members being "baptized" into Slipknot. They both appear playing with the band at the song's last chorus, both wearing uniforms and disguised in identical masks.

Justin Bieber – I’ll Show YouJustin Biebers music video starts with a panning up shot to start. I like this video because of the stunning visuals. It features glacial lagoons and rivers in South Iceland, including the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss.[29] The video features Bieber "running through lush, green mountains, sitting on the edge of a cliff, rolling down hills and skateboarding on top of a derelict airplane. These locations have also been used to film 2013 Secret life of Walter Mitty where the visuals are just as good. The transitions are very smooth which goes with the music video and gives a relaxing vibe to it. The artist is shown having fun which represents himself as being an fun and outgoing person. The audience would want to see this as they aspire to be friends with him/ hang out with him.

The panning shot of all the different locations makes you want to go there yourself as they are so beautiful. The narrative works with the lyrics ‘I’ll show you’ as it is like he is showing you round and we are going where he is going.
