In music videos artist will either use themselves in there videos, with a close up of a single member or the hole band or just the artist and they will look straight at the camera. A great example of this is Chris Martin from 'Coldplay' he tends to use himself in all his videos and occasionally the band members. One of his memorbale videos is 'The Scientist', in this video he is filmed backwards, but singing the words foward, to do this he had to write and learn his song backwards which was a very daunting task, but was pulled off and he created a one off fantastic video.
One of his videos that is use's a motif with the lyrics is 'Fix You' were there is a constant reference to light and then light is shown throughout the video until he comes onto stage were there is an explosion of light.
Another artist we looked at was 'Eminem' and how contriversal his music videos are to other artists and the american goverment. He shows himself in all his videos and his lyrics always mention a certain 'Dr Drey' and references to his bad childhood with his mother.
An artist that use's a star motif, is the gorillaz for instance. In all there videos they show themselves as cartoon characters, and never as there actuall selves and during live performances, they would have the animated characters on in the background behind them.
