Michael Buble - Just Haven't Met You Yet


Narrative:
Michael Buble is shopping in a supermarket and begins daydreaming about his dream woman. Throughout the song we see this daydream combined with performance. At the end of the song it's shown that he has been imagining this woman, as he leaves the supermarket the woman he was imagining walks past him into the supermarket.

Lucy Rose - Shiver


Narrative:
An Elderly man visits the places that he and his wife (who has passed away) used to visit. By using flashbacks that look like old video footage of the couple when they were younger in the same locations as the elderly man in the present day footage, it's clearly demonstrated that he is thinking back to their time together.

Settings:
Beach/Bay - most likely in the UK going by the weather, the look of the location and also because Lucy Rose is English herself.

Number of shots:
42

Transitions:
Cuts

Representations:
Age= Younger characters - More colour gives connotations of love and happiness.
          Older character - Muted colours gives connotations of loneliness and sadness.

 In Blue Skies - Take Me Back


Narrative:
Four men see a female in a pub and each of them try to flirt with her. Each of them fail for a different reason, apart from the last man who leaves with her.

Settings:
A Pub

Number of Shots:
67

Transitions:
- Fade from black (opening)
- Fade to black (ending)

Representations:
Gender - Female is seen as the object of desire in the video. 
             - The female is also shown as having the power as she turns men away - this goes against the stereotype of males being the dominant sex.
