What I like about Michael Jackson's Black Or White video is the fact that it used morphing to tell the song's message. It shows men and women from different ethnicities, morphing into each other. This shows the audience that we're all alike, and that we're all equal regardless of our colour or sex.
Nines is an unsigned London rapper, so this video was a surprise to many as it's filmed professionally with ariel shots. What I really love about this specific video is the camera movement from one scene to another, it shows the video has a smooth style, thus giving Nines a smooth style.
Kendrick Lamar's video 'Alright' is one of the most original music videos I've ever seen. The black and white effect, with so much going on in the background of the video, such as the cars and the dancing. What I really love about the video is the special effect they used and how Kendrick Lamar is floating, which in itself is a visual metaphor of how he is above the ground and how he is successful. As the song is about how he recovers from depression and hard times, so the visual metaphor works really well.
This another part of the video that I like, it includes the spoken word poetry of his depression. It uses visual metaphors again, the police officer shooting him down, it could be taken literal too, but in my eyes it shows that the government shooting him down, therefore he falls from his success and falls back into his depression. So overall the police officer (the government) shoots down his success,ambitions and dreams. This use of visual metaphors really intrigues and i might consider using this technique if im telling a narrative in my music video.

Chris Brown's "Don't Think They Know" is one of my favourite music videos, as it uses colour to tell a message. In this clip it highlights the colour red, which is the infamous blood's gang colour, it shows that this particular group of people fight for this colour red.
In this clip it shows Chris Brown with a different group (Crips Gang) that identify themselves with the colour blue, which is highlighted this time in the video. This sends a message using Chris Brown that you could be fighting for different things, but we're all the same.
In this final clip, the colour effect shows different colours on children's clothes. The video used this colour technique to send a message, that we should unite, regardless of what we represent we are one and the same.
