Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

The opening shot to the video features a private jet parked at a taxi-way at an airport. Due to the lighting effects we presume the location is hot during the summer. We then see the artist, Jason Mraz, sitting alone on the aircraft.

According to Andrew Goodwin it is important for the artist to be active during the video to connect with the audience. The shot types are then mainly close up / extreme close ups with a fast transition tempo. As we see the the artist leave his house with a backpack it becomes obvious that we are going to follow him through his adventure. The lyrics of the song suggest that he is looking for someone he loves - whether he has met this person yet isn't obvious.



A mid-shot of Jason Mraz traveling on the back of a pickup truck shows how relaxed he is about the situation; this fits the relaxed theme of the song. Multiple shots of beaches and him partying & jamming with friends also fits the relaxed and happy tone of the song. Underwater shots of him swimming enforce the idea of happiness.




As the video progresses the tempo of the shots generally get slower with the music. The video doesn't feature any drama, live performances, or voyeurism and is very much a casual, easy listening song.
