The Power of Lyrics, The next assignment on producing a music video

How to begin with the production of a real video clip?;)
First, we need to choose a song and analyse it, which seems to be a logical starting point for the purpose: a video with lipsinging and enjoyable content in consistency with the lyrics of the song.
The images, people, movements & motions should fit the rythm, rpm and other measurable sequences of the song which we may devie it into. By the way, human communication is based on non-verbal gestures, so in case of given words, the meaning could be interpreted in almost as many ways as we wish to, only up to us;)
Understanding of the song is also based on the culture, experiences and the perosnal connection to symbols of the beholder. If you switch symbols, different meanings can be attached or provoked in people to attach them to the topic, according to their personal attitudes.
As an exmaple to symbolism and the hidden meaning in songs I would refer to the song called American Woman, reflecting on the symbolical relationship of a male/female in a figurative meaning according to the American/Canadian relationship.
