In a nutshell, the video portray him as accepting his verdict of guilt for bombing civilians...and the sickos did a close up of the entire immolation episode all the way to the melting, charred remain, which then got covered by building rubble and bulldozer running it over. Once again, implying the reason he was executed. I bet this cleverly-made-professional-production quality video appeals greatly to ISIS target audience
Pretty much send the message that anyone should choose other alternatives than being capture alive by ISIS

This is the thing with ISIS and their media train. They have VERY SMART people behind their media "train." An American that was educated at Northwestern in Computer Science and at least 3 to 5 others from European countries and some from Middle Eastern Countries with Computer Science and Engineering Degrees. So you have Western educated Muslims that know both Cultures.
Also that's why you have the green screen or video compositing, this was the "Talk" over James Foley beheading and the two Japanese guys videos. BLUF, ISIS knows what they are doing.

Our enemies might even use the "no constraints" nature of ISIS to further their own ends. That is, ISIS might be used as a deadly tool for other enemies in the region - to play. ISIS and AQ may compete for recruits and prestige - but they generally share the same hatred of the USA, Israel and Europe. Having a relatively large army (reportedly, tens of thousands with ISIS) to manipulate (that army having zero constraints) should wake our political leaders in the WH from their PC coma.
