Voyeurism within a music video.

Within a textual analysis, you note down things on camera, mise en scene and editing. Something else that I have been noticing in quite a few music videos is voyeurism. It was first notice in Dead or Alive's, 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' as the lead singer stands in a frame/canvas which gives the impression that we are looking into someone's life and someone elses perspective of the
canvas.
.
Another video I noticed this in was Nik Kershaw's 'Wouldn't It Be Good'. The main character in the video has another story happening within the person. It's really bad editing because of the era (80's) but the effect is quite good as it gives the impression that other things are happening behind the persons life other than what is actually happening in the video.


I feel these are two great examples of voyeurism and the effect it has on an audience as a whole.
