"Missed Calls" by Mac Miller (Prod. By Ritz Reynolds)

This video is narrative. We know this because of how the footage follows the lyrics to the song and tells a story.

This video utilizes lots of different visual components. The color throughout the video is a lot of cool colors. This choice was probably made because it is a very depressing topic he is singing about in the song. The movement in this music video is very fast paced and seemingly spontaneous. There are plenty of shots of the subject moving from side to side and there are also clips of people driving cars which provides movement as well. The space is primarily either close ups or from a short distance away. Each of these components follows the songs message. When the song is playing at different times the shots match the lyrics or tone.

The key moments in the film are each time that the two subjects are together on screen at the same time and then as the song progresses we see less and less of the two together at the same time. This is key because the song is about breaking up and abandoning each other. These shots are photographed from close up for the sad person and further away for the happy person.

The camera moves around rapidly during the different footage throughout the video but at times when the focus is on just one person the camera is stationary but the background is often moving.

The video follows the message of the song almost precisely. The lyrics portray a bad break up and the struggle to not love the other person anymore. This short video does a great job at showing the audience each stage of the process.
