The music video that I consider the best example of a music video would be 1+1 by beyonce. My reasons beings are that it is such a simple music video which makes it even more wonderful. The music video allows us to here the strength in her voice, it also lets the audience hear the wonderful talent she has, unlike all her over videos where there is a lot going on, such as dancing and full on energy.
This video tends to have a lot of close ups where we just see her and all the focus and attention is on her. I also love how the video goes from a close up to a mid shot, allowing a good flow when the beats change. In addition unlike a lot of her other music videos this video don’t have a sexual tone about it , the video is clearly just focused on her face most of the times , so there is no sense of sexuality which makes this one stand out even more.
I also love the way the music is set really calm and slow, my favourite part is the extreme close up of her eyes, just because it goes so well with her theme of the song, I also love the camera work and the editing, the editing a tad little bit more, clearly because it adapts so well with her shots for example when there is a shot reverse shot the edits go so smoothly with the beat which make the video look amazing. Another thing I love is where there is a smooth transaction from one scene to another; the editing plays a huge part in this bit where there would be a lot of jump cuts. This I believe goes well with the lyrics as one shot would mould to another very slowly allowing the lyrics to show through the shots , which matches and goes very well with the theme of the song which is a romantic love song.
