Video clips nowadays have a significant role in the industry. Although now everything is digital, music videos are the cherry on the cake. Video clips can hugely help an artist get discovered and increase his general reputation. For example,
1.Stuck in the Sound is a French indie pop band that was formed in 2002. The band has several albums and a lot of successful songs in recent years.
Their song named ''Let's Go'' is a song about not having to be in a relationship in order to find joy in life. The animated video clip eye-catches the viewer straight-away as the bright red and purple colours make it look like a happy-ending romantic short film. In Contrast, the man on the video is first presented as a very focused and ambitious man; his only focus? reaching the moon! ''Girl I found my way out'' is a lyric that best describes the man's relationship status. He didn't let anything stop him from his moon landing, neither family nor romance. Although, during the final stages of the video the man can be seen in his rocketship trying to find the woman who was seen on his ship's TV. He did the undoable, climbed over airplanes,went space-surfing on a keg just to find out that it was not a woman, but a man. The moral of the video is to not let dreams get ahead of you too much, a balanced life is what a person needs. On the other hand, the two men can be seen playing video games and enjoying each other's company so you can question the need of relationship in someone's life.

'This Time For Africa' or 'Waka Waka' is a promotional video clip sung by Shakira! The World Cup is by far the most important football venue and in order to attract a lot of people on something, it needs to be eye-catching. The 'it' is the World Cup and with Shakira being one of the hottest artists in the world they decide to give her a chance, which they obviously did not regret! With more than 2.5 billion views as by November of 2019 and the video clip containing the likes of a lot of famous footballer it surely has to be one of the greatest video clips of all time. The video starts off the crucial moment where Italy won the 2006 World Cup and then goes on to show some sneak peeks of clips taken from older World Cup venues. When Shakira is shown singing the refrain, her with a dozen of people behind her start dancing and moving their hands from left to right and then front. We can see in the video that there is every race shown so it also promotes a message for anti-racism in football and how racism should not be shared; linking it to UEFA's anti racism campaign. The video clip keeps changing every 6-12 seconds from a football clip to Shakira and people dancing. Although, as the video goes, more people start joining Shakira. In addition this shows how being an optimistic person and enjoying life at its most can assist you in being more likeable and a enjoyable person.
