Sinead O'Connor's single 'Nothing compares to you' was originally a song written and composed by singer and songwriter Prince as part of his project 'The family'. The Irish singer O'Connor then made a cover to the song in 1990 as her second single in her studio album and made thousands of profit from the single. The music video to the single was very simple as it consisted of a head shot of O'Connor singling through the majority of the video, but as simple as it seems it was also very effective as it went well with the concept of the song because it displayed O'Connor's emotional distress and as an audience watching you can almost feel the pain and heartbreak in her face as she sings. This creates a connection between viewers and the artists making each line in the song more passionate and believable. O'Connor's facial expressions and signs throughout the video makes it even more realistic and entertaining to watch. From watching this video me and the other members in my group became inspired by this and used ideas behind the video into our own music video such as the steady head shot and exaggerated facial expressions. This ended up as a successful aspect in our music video as it didn't just look good but it increases our variation of shots and shows the examiner that we have really thought about our use of shots.
