Jason Derulo- Stupid Love
Lyrics:
Walking the dog in my neighborhood
Said I never would, for you for you
I got drunk on a Monday night
Hope it looks alright
Tattoo of you, uh
I'm a yes man on the loose, yeah
Maxed out all my credit cards
Bought your favorite car, times two
Said I never would, for you for you
I got drunk on a Monday night
Hope it looks alright
Tattoo of you, uh
I'm a yes man on the loose, yeah
Maxed out all my credit cards
Bought your favorite car, times two
I'm crazy for you
Lord knows what I'd do
I'd even die for you
Whatever you need
I'm down on my knees

Interpretation
From analysing the lyrics of " Stupid Love" we are able to see that this song is about a guy that is deeply in love and is ready to sacrifice his all for this girl and talks about the sacrifices he'd made for her and will continue to do in order to make her happy.
Synopsis:
The video consist of two characters: a male- Jason Derulo and a female actress. From the use of analysis we figure out that the main character Jason Derulo is suppose to be a ghost/ in spirit form and we can tell as it's a previous incident and the female is reminiscing as she cherishes the memory in the property that they used to share and grows an attachment to the materialistic goods that he left behind. Additionally it starts off with the location of the house in a newly condition; ready to move out and the diegetic sounds of a news report from the television is playing in the background which is about an incident that has just occurred, as the voice of the news reporter fades the character that is dead ( Jason Derulo) appears and all the objects that we're hidden with cloths in the house are slowly un raveling.
Conceptual, Narrative or Performance Based?
I would say that this music video is a combination of both performance and narrative based ideas. The narrative ideas are quite obvious as we are being told a story of a guy that has sacrificed his life for someone he loves. However the story is told through performance- so Jason Derulo dancing and acting in the song aswell as him lip syncing.
Themes and Motifs:
Seeking acceptance- Constantly trying to fulfil her demands in order to make her happy
Power of love- Even though he may not be alive he will continue to dwell in her thoughts and has preserved a place in her heart.
Camera, Editing and Mise-en-scene:
Camera:
In terms of camera:
An over shoulder shot to show the conversation of the male and female actor.
An establishing shot of the surroundings to show the entire location.
Low angles of both the actors to suggest that they're an ideal couple and should be looked up to.
High angle of Jason Derulo to show that he's clueless, naive and vulnerable to his surroundings.
Close up of Jason Derulo's face to show the importance of him.
Camera zooming in and out as the song becomes faster to increase the intensity.
Editing:
There is CGI ( Computer Generated Images) involved in terms of effects as a way of portraying the actor as a spirit and he is shown in different places of the house but fading to remind the audience that he is just a memory. Additionally the use of the cutaways help to illustrate the incidents in time with the lyrics which I think is quite interesting as you're able to understand the story better.
Mise-en-scene:
Objects with cloth over them to suggest that they're moving out and selling the property. The use of the guitar is quite effective as it is played in the song to suggest that it symbolises his presence. The two cars he talks about in the song and then two cars presented outside the house. The use of the television as a way of getting the narrative involved.
Target Audience:
The target audience are those that are currently in love, been in love, experienced some problems in their relationship or have lost someone close to them and will listen to the song as a way of remembering the person.
Ideas I could use in my own video:
I like the way the CGI had a meaning behind it and expressed one of the important matters quite simply. I also liked the use of the television as a prop and the diegetic sound of the news reporter stating the news as a way of making the audience aware of what the story is going to be about. I particularly liked how there were two different shots of the same location to show the contrast in time.

Some useful detail, but you are a little descriptive, try to think about how locations are used and more specific techniques used and why such as the lip sync, cutting rate and camera shots.
