Download - Style of Video
Style of Video1) Opens with
rain & establishing
shots of scenery2) The villain, girl
#1 go off with another guy into a car & drives off Seems to start straight off with a disruption but the
problem seems to be identified or known by the
characters before it is seen by the audience3) Justin as the hero, with Timbaland sat
in a car sees them, he then walks out through the rain
4) He smashes the glass
with a pebble to break into her house
This is further provoking the situation & has no initiative to
repair the disruption
5) He goes through the house doing dance moves on the
wayNarrative
Style of Video
7 ) Girl #1 arrives back home & Justin stays & follows her around her house without her
being aware of him & he hides in a cupboard watching her in the shower
8)She senses something as Justin touches the glass, but as she turns
around he is gone
6) Timbaland, as Justin’s donor/helper
sends in girl #2 which is then filmed them kissing Justin
with a video camera he found & then
she leaves
9) Ends with her left watching the video playing over on
her TV
Style of VideoPerformance
The only performance shown in the video is the
scene where Justin is going through her house
He lip-synchs the words to the song
in the video
He uses cleverly camera & dance moves that are snapped to the
audio The dance scenes & stunts create good effect
& works well
Mode of Address
He looks & sings into the camera & addresses the audience directly
even through dancing too
In the lyrics, “YOU”... is used a lot which is directly aimed & addressed at girl #1
It is used right from the start & frequently through the song which emphasises the use of it
[1st Verse] “You were my sunYou were my earth”…
Not looking into camera as he is concentrating on girl #1 & singing
towards her
This impacts the audience as they think he is singing personally to them
Throughout the video he is very aware of
the camera & audience
He uses minimal indirect mode of
address this is shown at the beginning &
end when the girl #1 is in the video
DirectIndirect
Uses & Gratifications Theory
Perhaps implies ways of how to get revenge when cheated on
Social Interaction A topic of discussion
as this relates to the USP & break up of J.T
& B.S
Entertainment The song itself & narrative &
performance within the video is enjoyable & easy watching/listeningInformative
Dance moves can be used
as inspiration by watchers
Could even teach how to get break in
to houses
