As part of personal research I decided to research some iconic videos in order for me to build up some ideas for our final song choice.
I found that songs with strong motifs where usually the most memorable as they carried a meaning within the motif. For example, Where is the love by The Black Eyed Peas. The question mark is placed all around the music video complimenting the song title, this allows the audience to have something to look out for when watching the video as viewers are usually content when they spot the repeated item.
In this video (Katy Perry - Firework) the fireworks are used to represent being reborn in a sense, and accepting who and what you are.
In the next video (Kanye West - Gold Digger) the editing is being played with as the motif is the moving women in the static magazine covers. This also supports Mulvey's ideas on representation.
