The video for Sinead O'Connors - 'Nothing Compares 2 U' show how effective a close up of an artist lip syncing in a video can be, although we don't want to shot our whole video within the studio this video shows the camera angles and distance that we want to emulate. I think that although this video only feature the artist lip syncing it is powerful and the audience are drawn to continue to watch it. This reinforces our idea that sometimes a simple music video can have just as big effect than a high budget highly choreographed video can achieve.
Interesting choice Georgina, this video must be 20 years old and is a good example of how the medium has moved on, very static shots and dissolves being the most innovative technique. She is very beautiful but no contemporary video director could get away with such simple techniques
