Video Analysis 2

Miguel- Adorn

This music video is a narrative video with a mix of an artist performance. The artist is shown in the music video singing to a woman, the song is a love song so he is getting very close to her when singing to show the chemistry between him and the girl. 

But there are also shots of many other attractive woman these are shown as being temptations towards the artist and are shown as halucinations and the artist in one shot is shown as running away down a corridor from a woman. The song is all about showing how much he adores the woman and one of the lyrics is "Don't you let no one tell you different baby"

The video very much goes along with the conventions of the genre of RnB with the male artist being a confident ladies man shown to be trying to win over an attractive woman dressed seductively. These conventions are shown by the costume of the woman she is wearing lingerie to boost her sex appeal in the video and he is shown as being a confident man by his posture and body language being very close and forward with the opposite sex this is shown by close up shots. He is also shown as being wealthy but not showing it off and being very fashion forward in  medium close up shots when standing and leaning on his old fashioned car.

The artist shows love as not being all easy as it looks and makes love seem as a struggle in a close up shot of him singing the lyrics whilst drowning. This gives the effect that even for him the emotion is hard to deal with. This effect is added to at the start of the song when the title of the song is superimposed over a shot of Miguel with a red filter on the shot. The colour red normally is used to symbolise a hazard or danger but its is also use to symbolise love and effection, so it has a double effect in this picture.
