There is no "one lens". Every shooter has a different style. Every situation has a different need.

What's right for one person may not be right for the next.

Music videos are all different and have different needs.

You need to first understand what effect different lenses have on your image. Zooming with your feet (changing you position) will have a very different look from a zoom lens.

Then with that knowledge you need to look at the visual story you want to tell and select the appropriate lens or combination of lenses.
