My favourite music video is 'Bon Jovi - Always'. This video has a hybrid structure in which the majority of the video is a narrative with interval scenes focused on the main singer - Jon Bon Jovi, singing the lyrics to the song. This structure is performance.
I like this video because of how the narrative matches the song. It has a great relationship to the lyrics and gives the audience a real feel for the emotions behind the lyrics. The video also allows you to empathise with both of the main characters of the piece. The lyrics are coming from the point of view of a man who cheated on his girlfriend. The video helps the audience to understand how he is feeling when the words match his mood. The video also allows the audience to understand how the female is feeling after being cheated on and this is mainly portrayed through the video and narrative itself.
