1 - Down by the River
This video stands out because of its 'Lost Boy' theme, featuring an artsy style using paint and childhood objects in a forest. This is something viewers can recognize and interpret as they like as the meaning of the original song isn't revealed. It represents children in a playful way and focuses on the outdoors, giving an aesthetic to the video that is charming and happy.
2 - Firebird
Firebird appears to have a deeper meaning and representative, and intrigues the viewer with this uncommon theme. As a tribute to women in South America, and dedicated to the writer's daughter, the video captures Bolivia in an artistic and interesting fashion - focusing on small details to give the viewer an experience of the country and its traditions, which are both interesting and subversive.
3 - Doing Good
This video is the most visually pleasing- choosing certain images of a city and creating a lively and colourful outlook to the video with a mix of random objects, a focus on the colour red, water, skylines and abstract text. The quick switches from one frame to the other keeps the video interesting with its alternative aesthetic.
