Narrative Analysis

The linear structure of my music video for 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake suggests that it is strongly narrative driven. It uses a parallel narrative structure to follow the lives of four characters. This intends to highlight the idea presented in the video that everyone experiences some form of insecurity. Furthermore, the omniscient narrative style displays to the audience the similarities between the characters and each of their narratives. Repetitious cuts to the performer gives the audience a sense that the artist is telling them this message, therefore they are more likely to pay attention to what the music video is trying to portray to them.
