Walk by The Foo Fighters:
The first shot shows the main "character" of the music video and who's story we will be following throughout. As this shot is so close up the audience can really feel his frustration immediately but it also lets the audience know that this is the main person.
The second wider shot then allows the audience to see his situation, this being after the shot showing his frustration allows the audience to make the link of why he is frustrated and bored.
The next four shots last for a shorter amount of time and therefore accurately show a build up in emotion paralleling the first shot. And when you take all shots from the first to the 6th it smoothly takes the audience from one point and one perspective going further out to see out that one point fits in to everything else, almost becoming consumed by the situation.
After having taken the video further out seeing whats around the character and whats going on, the focus is brought back reinforcing that he is the centre of the video and that we are going to see his experiences and how things relate to him. This keeps the video clear to the audience and easily understandable.
The 8th shot brings in other characters to the music video setting the tone for the video, which is comic, and brings more interest to the video.
Good, although you could also refer to the names of shots and camera angles/movement used, plus ideas this might give you for your own product.
