Whilst looking at a slection of the vidoes Wayne Isham has directed we discoverd a running theme throughout all of them, this theme is performance. In the majority of the videos we looked at from Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer to Kelly Clarcksons My Life Would Suck Without You they all had a performance element to the video.
However this theme has deleveloped through time for example in Ricky Martins video for She Bangs we begin to see quite alot of special effects the use of special effects is clear in Will Smiths video for Will2K. The narritve element of Wayne Ishams Videos alothough also being seen in Will2K didn't really take off until N-Syncs video for Bye Bye Bye, it was after this video that almost all of the videos Wayne Isham directed followed a narrative.
The use of audience is also a main factor in the videos Wayne Isham has directed for example in Bon Jovi's video for You Give Love A Bad Name we see the band in concert with the fans waiting outside for their favoirte band, we then see them in the concert itself having a good time, this theme has stayed with Wayne througout his directing career and I think it is a really nice element to his videos and it is also something that has made him become his own person in the music video world
