1. a shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals

In this song Swift sings: "You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess" and at this point there is the literal meaning of it, he's the prince and she's the princess.
Taylor Swift - Love Story
2. a shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be represented

In this particular shot of the music video, Cyrus is presented in a very dream like way, and the setting is very dreaminess, which addresses the audience who is watching something like this.
Miley Cyrus - The Climb
3. a shot that illustrates how the video uses music genre

This shot show a band playing a heavy metal song, and the setting is telling us what the genre of this music is very well, because they have put in massive flames that explode in the background.
Savatage - Gutter Ballet
4. a shot that shows an intertextual reference

This shot shows an intertextual reference very well, because there is a comic hand coming out of the comic and interfering with the real world. The intertextual reference in this music video are of course comic books.
A-ha - Take On Me
5. a shot that demonstrates the use of camera

In this video there are many shots that are going towards the main vocalist, there is also a lot of in and out of focus moments in this music video.
Beck - Lost Cause
6. a shot that demonstrates the use of lighting

In this shot is the lighting used very nicely, because the fountains really stand out and that gives this scene a good atmosphere.
3OH!3 - STARSTRUKK ft. Katy Perry
7. a shot that demonstrates the use of mise-en-scene

I like this shot a lot. It is framed perfectly and therefore used many times in the video. It is also the main location of the video. The microphone is centered, next to it the disco ball, and then the two performers one of them not as much in the picture as the main vocalist (on the right). Which shows that he is probably more recognisable and that's why he is more in the picture than the guitarist.
Taenacious D - Tribute
