I thought it was hard to choose a music video because there's so many i know of so i decided on this one. I'm not a big fan of the music but i like the video. The first shot begins on a stadium light and tilts down to an extreme long shot of a curtain being opened and a man walking through. From there the singing begins and it goes to many cut aways as the camera arcs and tilts. The singer is framed in many medium to close up shots. The guy with goatee often looks off screen creating an eye line towards the next visual. The cheerleaders are shown in various long to medium long to medium panning shots. The costumes feature warm colors and most of the shots are pretty tight framed. The end pans up to an extreme long shot of fireworks.
This is a good example of a performative video that is not performed by the artist. Your analysis is off to a good start but it's important to look at how the video content relates to the song. A lot of the movement flows rhythmically with the music but the content and comedic tone runs counter to the feeling you might have when just listening to the music.
