Kids by MGMT is an obscure music video because of its several unique and quirky features, such as the long opening which contains a quote which they have used for the basis of their music video. The music video itself uses juxta position to make broad statements throughout, such as the serious and ominous music the audience is introduced to whilst the quote is played, compared to the upbeat and contemporary music of the track itself, as well as the innocence of the child, which is repeatedly shown to be shot with monsters. In addition, the music videos quirky mise-en-scene such as the shots of the band members in bold unusual clothing, shot in a forest, juxta pose the seemingly ordinary urban setting and costume of the mother and child,
This video 'Adventure time' by BriBry uses a individual narrative perspective which makes the music video interesting for its audience. It does this by initially using quite natural seeming shots of a man beginning his day, and it is apparent that during this sequence hand held cameras are the most dominant type of shots used.
However, as the song develops and he speaks of his unhappiness of their relationship, a faster pace of edit is used, and more shots and sequences of the couple are shown, so the audience can get an understanding of the longstanding unhappiness between the couple. It then develops so that two shots are shown side by side, of his expectation of the following events, and the reality, adding a very personal feel of the narrative so that the audience can understand his personal disappointment which are then reiterated through the lyrics of the song.
'All The Small Things' by Jedward is an interesting music video as the video itself breaks many generic conventions of a music video, by including inter-textual references to other music videos, or personal idols of theirs, including Beyonce, Briteny Spears, and Lady Gaga which they represent through iconic music video props, such as the metal glove worn by Beyonce, or the lady Gaga 'telephone hat' worn in her music video.
As well as using replica props from other music videos, they also replicate scenes, such as the iconic Britney Spears locker scene from her video 'one more time.'
As well as referencing other videos, the music video itself includes many shots of them making the music video, for example, they are shown painting props and controlling the camera, which in itself acknowledges the existence of the music video within the video, unlike the majority of music videos which are often dramatized to fit in with an idea which portrays the song well and so do not show such 'real' aspects of the production side of the music video.
