The music video that i have chosen is Pixie Lott- Boys And Girls.
The 'narrative' in this video is clear, and illustrates the lyrics very well. What happens in the music video is a bunch of girls and boys coming together to simply have fun.
The artists central position within this narrative is shown as her being the center of attention, playing around with the boys and having fun with the girls. We see the artist sing and dance, and there are lots of close- ups of her which helps establish that she is the main artist as she is the main focus in the video; and the ratio of narrative to performance is 50:50.
The reason why I think this video is a good example of the music video form is that there are lots of jump cuts, and shots that helps the audience understand and see a personality of the artist, and the jump cuts don't follow a sequence which lifts the bubbly persona of the artist. And like said previously, there are many close-ups that help establish the artist and also helps the audience view and see her personal style.
