Jason Mraz - Im yours

This music video was what I was somewhat basing my music video on.
I like the middle-of-the-summer impression of the video and that the shots dont look professional; as if it was done on a hand held camera.
There are many landscape shots which is what i was trying to achieve from the beach, hay bails, the river and the mill. When i first saw this music video really liked the silhouette shots of the artist which is also what I tried with my artist on the sand dunes.
Close up shots of different parts of the artist's body, for example: feet tapping or fingers tapping to the beat of his song is also something that i really liked about this video and i think it works very affectivley.
I used skateboarders in my video which is similar to this one, i think it works well if it is slowed down into slow motion and the skateboarders land/perform their tricks to the beat.
Unlike my video this video is slowed down the entire way through, I thought about doing this however my song is a bit faster than this one so the slow motion wouldn't work as well. My video lacks other people as at the moment i only have two people in it, I think this puts more emphasise and focus on the artist.
In this video Jason Mraz is dressed in casual clothing and is wearing a hat, it looks as if he is on holiday - this is what i was trying to attain with my artist, I asked him to wear impromptu clothing (t-shirt and everyday trousers) to capture the feel of the late summer; my artist also wore a hat and with that i asked him to take it off now and then and use it as a prop by throwing it and playing with it.
The Jason Mraz video is very much similar to mine in the way that there is no strict narrative structure to it, it is just shots of the artist (alomost like a day in the life) and his friends.
