Jack Johnson - At Or With Me (Music Video)

At Or With Me is a song taken from Jack Johnson's album To The Sea. The reason I like the video is because of its originality and creativity. It features acting from members of the comedy band, The Lonely Island.

This shot above is very good, as it plays off the stereotypes of dated fighting/action films. The character in the middle has just removed his sunglasses in slow motion, whilst tense music plays in the background. The two characters flanking him are dressed smartly, and their composition at either side makes it seem as if they are guarding the middle character.

I also liked the editing inbetween this shot and the shot pictured below. The camera zooms out whilst tracking in to create a distorted feel.

This shot is very similar to the shot previously discussed. The extreme close-up is another technique which is normally used to show emotions, yet this is used to mock this idea.

This is another shot I enjoyed, as the composition shows the characters to not be paying attention, instead on their mobile phones. This adds to the storyline of the video as they are arrogant and rude characters.
