The Guardian- Jack Fischer

Jack and the coats guard sign is in focus but the background is not. His uniform and the sign tell you about him and his career.  The bright light in the image represents happiness. Blue is the color that stands out.

The Lion King 

Bright lighting symbolic of hope and happiness. Lifting the lion up to the sky show his importance. The sky is blue and the rock is darker. 

Chef

The food truck stands out but the 2 characters are the main focus. Colors of the food truck are bright and catch your eye. Father and son, look alike with matching aprons. Image gives off a happy feeling. 

Keith Urban - Raise 'Em Up ft. Eric Church  

From the establishing scene to the end the color scheme is black and white. Even though the video is in black and white, there is still bright lighting that give it a happy feel. The videos plot consist of many kids and teen dancing and enjoying life. As part of the mise-en-scene, the American flag is in the background during some of the kids shots. This  describes how America raised up in hopes for a better life and that is what parents want for their kids.  Diegesis shows here were parents with kids showing them raising them up physically and metaphoric. The adults are trying to relate to the kid by acting like them. The rate when the adults are acting like kids is slow representing the time spent with their kids is valuable as well as the time they were growing up. The kids also dance in slow motion which creates the idea that the time when kids are growing is special and once in a life time. The focus is one the people the whole time where the background is blurred. Things in life get hazy but its the people in life that matter. 

Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying 

The black and white clip are flashbacks making the diegesis being he looking back on his life. The main color is white, representing heaven. The lighting is very bright and hes costume blends into the background like he's an angle. In the end of the video all the black and white shots come together and form a montage of his life. The angle of framing is always moving and rotating with the singer in focus. The black and white clips are framed as if they are on a screen and he is watching it like a movie. As he is singing the video fades and then transitions in correlation with the song. There isn't a band or any other person in the video, so it is completely focused on his life. He has a clear chair so it makes him look like he is floating relating back to him being an angle and the concept of the song with is living like you are dying and nothing is holding you down. The framing for the majority of the video had medium long shots so the view.got to see the white surroundings but focus on Tim McGraw.
