Two Types of Daydreamable Moment
There are two different ways that a music video can give the viewer something to daydream about:
- A character in the video interacts with you, the viewer, in a "fourth wall" moment. He, or she, is looking right at you, thinking something about you, because of how awesome you are.
- Or, the character in the video is awesome, doing something awesome, and the daydream is that you could be awesome, like the person in the video, doing the same awesome thing.
