jason mraz 'i'm yours'

first music video: jason mraz '' i'm yours''

the first shot of the music video is an establishing shot of the aircraft about to take off. the beginning of the song uses a shuffling distorted sound at the came point as the engines start. this then quickly turns to an medium shot of a Jason mraz sitting in a seat looking out of the aircraft window. the mise en scene used low key lighting at the start suggesting the place he is in presently is negative relating to pathetic fallacy.The next few shots joined with the aircraft engines roaring show brief shots of the destination he is going including shots of the sea and speed limit sign. the music then starts on an optimistic note however he is still in dark areas including the aircraft and his hotel room with the curtains closed suggesting it hasn't got to the more optimistic side to the song yet. Then there are multiple uses of close up shots used including fish tank and various ones of extreme close ups on his eyes, and a door key. During this scene it is showing him preparing for the day ahead of him ie rucksack. After, there are various shots of him hitchhiking, but at the same time flashbacks of the plane journey. there are then various silhouette shots and hand action shots using medium shots.

These shots of the city quickly show the environment he is in which appears to be a resort around then equator.This then cuts away to a agricultural scene going through jungles and in bare feet suggesting he is at peace with nature and his life. this is his journey through life. there is an ongoing theme of him respecting nature. the narrative continues throughout the day into the night to which he he is surrounded by fire in an typical beach scene. there are also continuing establishing shots of the jungles. including the waterfall. there are also many shots of women suggesting he is socialising easily and adapting to this new environment.There are then shots of bus journeys and flashbacks or flash forwards of a plane journey suggesting his trip is coming to an end. especially when camera shots of runways and airport terminals are introduced.
