Narrative Based Video 


Drake - Find you love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyv4Bjja8yc&feature=related

Description - The story is about a man (drake) who is speeding off to the states to get ahead with his music career but is is love with a woman who is owned by one the 'mafia' leaders . At the start he is talking a wise old man who tells him to just run off to the states and warns him about not going to check out that girl. He goes to a club seeing the girl he is in love with the man who owns her.  There are cuts of him in a studio singing and making the song he is singing. The girl he loves notices Drake looking over at him and then it cuts into a scene with a man performing and people dancing when suddenly you see the woman standing near a wall while drake walks over to her. He starts to dance with her and then it cuts to scenes with him and her at a beach and other resorts. It cuts to a scene where an informer goes and tells this 'mafia' leader about the situation with Drake and this girl. The next scene is of drake walking through the streets having constant flashbacks with that girl and cuts into the studio and him recording. He comes to a house after his walk where he glances over the gate only to be the house of the girl he loves. She stand near the window with a very depressed expression on her face and Drake calling out to her only for Drake to turn around and she the thugs and the 'mafia' leader staring at him. He is then strapped up on a chair where the woman comes into the room and sits on the lap of the the 'mafia' leader when the man asks her to shoot Drake. She slowly begins to walk over to Drake with a gun held in her hand and goes behind Drake to shoot him. The shot ends with the note 'just got to say' and typography of FIND YOUR LOVE.

Description - The video starts off with a close up on Kanye's face with him slowly rising among the pillars behind him. The camera slowly begins to zoom out on Kanye revealing more people or monsters in his video. You a beautiful woman with wings sitting a chair right next to Kanye and these women with horns with a cane's in their hands stomping on the ground. as the camera begins to zoom out more you see a few woman on the top of the video. One woman throws a veil over her face whereas the other woman thrown a bowl of water into their face. Suddenly a person with a knife beings to look like he/she is plunging into to kill Kanye. Two woman on the right begin to show affection to each other holding each other in their arms. Two people from the left at right jump ferociously into the air wielding their swords high in the air. the camera then begins to pan and zoom into the woman who's sitting on the chair near Kanye. Then pans and zooms into the woman who throws the bowl of water at herself. the camera is then also panned and zoomed into the women showing affection to each other and then again to the other person on the other side of the shot who is throwing water on herself. The camera is then zoomed out to a long shot only showing Kanye in front of pillars or a gate with the two men wielding the swords coming directly at Kanye to strike him down! Fireworks and sparkles fly out from each corner of the video and also from behind Kanye. The video then ends with the words POWER written across the scene and the scene Kanye was standing in.
